  • Biography

    Dr. Lockhart went to medical school in Chicago, then completed her pediatric neurology fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic and her sleep medicine fellowship at University Hospitals and Rainbow Babies in Cleveland.  She has been a sleep neurologist at Seattle Children’s Hospital since 2013.  Her interests include treating children and adolescents with neurological sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, complicated sleep terrors, and sleep related movement disorders.  In addition, she treats children with headache and is a part of the Seattle Children’s Hospital headache program.  Her favorite part about being a sleep neurologist is that she often builds long-lasting relationships with her patients and patient’s families.  She knows improving sleep in a child can improve relationships and quality of life in the entire family.

    In her spare time, Dr. Lockhart loves to get outdoors with her own three children and husband.  Her perfect weekend would include a hike, leisurely kayak, snow skiing in the winter, or relaxing outdoors at a winery in the summer. 

  • Patient Testimonials

    • Emma Lynden, WA 08.10.23

      Dr. Lockhart was instrumental in finding a diagnosis and treatment plan that worked for me. While she could have taken what prior physicians had recorded, she instead reran tests and prioritized what I had to say as a patient before diagnosis and treatment. She truly listened to what my goals were moving forward and created a treatment plan that helped me to achieve them. I have been a patient of her's for six years now and have always felt that she cared about me as an individual. I would highly recommend Dr. Lockhart.
