Dr. Lina María Agudelo Ramos

Clinical neurologist, specialist in sleep medicine

“Sleep isn’t a luxury; it’s a medical necessity. Many neurological and general health problems are explained, or made worse, by sleep disorders that go unnoticed: apnea, insomnia, restless legs or abnormal movements during sleep.

My job is to identify them precisely and guide each patient toward truly restful sleep.”
