Adrian Zacher

Sleep patient advocate/champion

I train healthcare professionals how to help their patients stop snoring; sleep and breathe at the same time. Many of my customers find their work so rewarding they limit their practice to it.

I began in the sleep business in 1994, yet I am NOT a pharmacist, dentist nor a doctor. I am however, an instructor, inventor, author, market access business consultant, car enthusiast, amateur cook and proud Dad to 2 fab kids.

Lucy S. Dentist

“I’d highly recommend Adrian Zacher and the Snorer.training course. His course is efficient and very clear. As a dentist, I have many patients and a surprisingly high demand for treatment of snoring. It was very useful for me to begin sharing information on snoring, and to gain confidence in starting treatment.”

Roshik P. Dentist

“This is a very simple, yet effective tool to learn about Dental Sleep Medicine. The online nature of the program allows you to learn at your own pace and schedule. Also, the information provided will provide a great starting point for any dentist who’s interested in learning about Dental Sleep Medicine. In summary; a well-organized, thorough online learning tool!!”
