Overview

I am a pediatric neurologist and have special interests in tuberous sclerosis, pediatric headaches and general pediatric neurology. Early in my education, I was privileged to work with outstanding child neurologists sharing their love and enthusiasm for this specialty. It is essential not only to connect with the little toddler or adolescent but also the family to arrive at the right diagnosis and therapy. Listening to their story, understanding their needs, building the important partnership with the family and at the end getting a smile from a patient are most rewarding and satisfying. Besides work I love classical music, exercise and spend time with my family.

I am a pediatric neurologist and the director of the pediatric neurology sleep medicine program. I treat children with a variety of sleep problems, including narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and difficulty sleeping. My goal is to engage not only the patient but also the family. Oftentimes, these problems are eminently treatable and even preventable, so it’s very gratifying when I see a child who has a treatable medical disorder and see all of the other areas in the child's and family’s life that are positively affected. I believe Duke is the best place in the world to seek care for children. We pride ourselves on cutting-edge technology and research, but also on compassionate care and being able to relate to families and their needs and values. We have access to ongoing research trials, research information, drugs, and other providers in other subspecialties within the Duke system, so it’s a nice comprehensive care program here. Dr. Kansagra is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Cortical Dysplasia. His top areas of expertise are Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood, Pompe Disease, West Syndrome, and Epilepsy.
