Philosophy of Care
I often meet families at times when they are facing exceptionally difficult situations. I strive to provide the best care possible no matter the circumstances, and to be with families as they take each next step.

Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Wusthoff's research examines the use of brain monitoring, particularly EEG, to identify newborns and children who have or at risk for brain injury. She also studies how treatment of seizures in critical illness may reduce the risk of subsequent complications.
