    We are an Ambulatory Neurology Clinic that encompasses both the Comprehensive Autonomic Clinic and VCU Center for Sleep Medicine. The VCU Sleep Center at Stony Point provides care to patients with a variety of sleep cases to include insomnia, narcolepsy/cataplexy, obstructive sleep apnea, delayed sleep phase and more. In addition to caring for our patients, our staff learns how to do CPAP downloads and differentiate between masks, gain invaluable sleep medicine knowledge for patient education and advocacy, and help patients navigate concerns with the providers and other services. We also serve our autonomic patients that seek us out for a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of POTs, orthostatic hypertension, multi-system atrophy, etc. Our team of nurses collaborates with physicians, NPs, PAs, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists and Rehab DOs to provide our patients the care they require for often complex cases. We are an ever-evolving clinic that offers the unique opportunity for staff to be involved in improvement projects and participate in monthly education learning sessions.

    When you join our clinic, you are joining a family-like team that is supportive of and celebrates one another and where each nurse brings a valuable skill set to the table! Our clinic is currently staffed 7:30am-6pm in staggering shifts and our team members enjoy free parking onsite at the Stony Point campus.
