KELSEY CHRISTOFFEL, M.D. Prenatal-Neonatal Neurologist

Kelsey Christoffel, M.D., is a Prenatal-Neonatal Neurologist at Children’s National Hospital. Dr. Christoffel works with the Developing Brain Institute to study brain development and connectivity in congenital brain anomalies.  Her goal is to find quantitative fetal brain imaging markers to better predict neurodevelopmental outcomes in conditions where prognostic accuracy is currently lacking.  Dr. Christoffel spends time at the Prenatal Pediatrics Institute seeing pregnant women who have a heightened risk for fetal brain anomalies, as well as in the Children’s neonatal intensive care unit caring for babies with neurologic injury and disease. Prior to joining Children’s National and DBI, she received her medical degree from the University of Minnesota and completed her residency training in Child Neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, also in Minnesota.
