Rachel Ziegler, M.D.

When a patient is seen in Sleep Medicine, often we spend the first part of the visit discussing their typical sleep schedule and what a night of sleep is like for them. The more we can find out about a patient’s typical sleep pattern, the better we are able to determine what might be causing any sleep problems they are having. From there, we will discuss the most likely diagnoses followed by treatment options to consider. At the end of the visit, we review the plan as well as any questions that may come up.

I grew up and have many roots in the communities in rural, southwest Minnesota. I grew up on a farm in southwest Minnesota. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy outdoor activities as well as baking and quilting.
