Summary

  • I am an academic child neurologist with an interest in helping infants and children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and sleep-wake disorders. My research interests lie in childhood-onset narcolepsy and restless legs syndrome (Willis Ekbom disease). At Mayo Clinic, I work with multi-disciplinary teams comprised of empathetic, skilled and talented providers. Our motto is "the needs of the patient come first," and we try to live up to it every day.
