Attending Introduction
This fellowship-trained, dual board-certified pediatric neurologist and sleep medicine physician brings over a decade of academic and clinical expertise. They completed their pediatric residency, child neurology residency, and sleep medicine fellowship at Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, where they also served as an Associate Professor of Pediatrics.
