Two Neurologists Join IU School Of Medicine

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Department of Neurology at Indiana University School of Medicine is welcoming two new faculty members with specialties in multiple sclerosis and the treatment of acute headaches.

David H. Mattson, M.D., Ph.D., has joined the faculty as associate professor of neurology and director of the Neuroimmunology/Multiple Sclerosis program.

Dr. Mattson's ultimate goal is to build a comprehensive Indiana University Multiple Sclerosis Center, where an interdisciplinary program involving coordinated care by neurology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, urology, social work, and nursing will be used. The clinic also will be a site for multiple sclerosis clinical studies.

Dr. Mattson received his medical degree from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and completed his residency at the University of Pennsylvania.

Charles Flippen II, M.D., has joined the department as a visiting clinical instructor of neurology.

His primary clinical and research interests are in hormonal influences on migraine headaches and the economic and societal impact of headaches.

Dr. Flippen received his medical degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He completed his neurology training at the University of Maryland Medical System in Baltimore.

Dr. Flippen recently completed a research fellowship studying headaches at the Henry Ford Health Sciences Center in Detroit, Mich.

Both physicians will see patients in the new Mark L. Dyken Neurology Outpatient Center at Indiana Unversity Hospital of Clarian Health.
