Emmanuel During, MD
Sleep specialist, General neurologist
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Stanford Center for Sleep Sciences and Medicine
Clinical Assistant Professor, Neurology & Neurological Sciences
Bio:
Emmanuel During, MD, is psychiatrist and neurologist with board certification in sleep medicine on Stanford faculty since 2016 as Clinical Assistant Professor with a primary appointment in the Department of Psychiatry – Division of Sleep Medicine, and a secondary appointment in the Department of Neurology. He directs the Stanford Parasomnia Clinic where he evaluates the broad spectrum of parasomnias, including REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD, abnormal dream-enactment) and other parasomnias such as sleepwalking, sleep talking, sleep terrors and confusional arousals. Lying at the interface of psychiatry, neurology and sleep, the Parasomnia Clinic functions as a platform for high-level specialized clinical care and direct enrollment into clinical trials, particularly for patients with RBD, which in a number of cases is an early sign of neurodegeneration such as Parkinson's disease or dementia with Lewy bodies.
Dr. During is receiving federal and industry grant support for conducting research on RBD. He is currently the PI of an investigator-initiated sponsored trial investigating a new drug in treatment-refractory RBD (NCT04006925), and serves as site PI for a NIA grant supporting a nation-wide consortium, the North American Prodromal Synucleinopathy Consortium (NAPS), laying the groundwork for a first neuroprotective trial in the pre-Parkinson's stage of RBD, (NCT03623672). In 2018, he was invited to join a task force group of experts in RBD commissioned by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) to issue the upcoming 2020 Clinical Guidelines for the management of RBD. He was invited the same year to join the International RBD Study Group (IRBD-SG), a group of world-experts in RBD ranging from clinicians to basic scientists. His most recent research interest pertains to wearable sleep devices that can potentially monitor RBD activity in patients home environment and facilitate early diagnosis.

SHC Patient, Oct 2019
Please note: I saw Dr. Wu for the majority of the visit. Dr. During was the attending and came in the last few minutes of the visit.
SHC Patient, Oct 2019
I was a little concerned because this was my first time seeing this particular doctor (my previous doctor, who I liked very much, had left the practice). However, my new doctor was also very knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions.

SHC Patient, Jul 2019
Dr. During was everything we hoped for, but didn't expect to find. He gave us hope, for the first time in years. We found him to be extremely perceptive, competent, personable and informative. I can't think of one aspect of our visit that was not absolutely top notch. We feel very fortunate to have met him and the staff at Stanford Medical center.
SHC Patient, Jun 2019
Dr During is exceptional!
SHC Patient, Jun 2019
I found Dr. During's relational skills to be aloof and too clinical. He asked questions as though he were grilling me. "Are you good at your job" he asked me. His demeanor & tone were somewhat judgmental. I didn't return for a follow up because he lack warmth. I didn't want work with a doctor I could trust.
SHC Patient, Jun 2019
DR. DURING WAS VERY AMENABLE TO CHANGING ELEMENTS OF MY TREATMENT...SO MUCH SO THAT TWO OF THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE ARICEPT I WAS TAKING WERE GREATLY MODIFIED WHEN THE DOSE OF THE ARCEPT WAS CHANGED AND A NASAL SPRAY WAS PRESCRIBED.
SHC Patient, Jun 2019
The doctor mentioned about CPT or providing me more information to regulate my sleep schedule at the visit before last visit. But she forgot to talk about it at my visit. I think the doctor need a little more time to review each patient's histories before visits.

SHC Patient, Aug 2017
I must share that Dr. During has been one of the most helpful doctors I've worked with - and I'm a pretty touch customer so this is saying something. I have a complex chronic illness and Dr During has been able to help me with many of my symptoms. But, perhaps more importantly, he has helped me to better understand my illness, which makes it easier for me to manage. In short, he's terrific - very good at listening, eager to help, explains things well, and isn't afraid to let me know the limits of his knowledge (when this happens he makes sure that I see someone who can address my various needs).

SHC Patient, Apr 2017
Dr During was excellent. He spent a lot of time with me (I had a long list to cover) and made sure he addressed all of my issues in depth. I have a long-term chronic illness and Dr. During is one of the first specialists I've been to who is going to be able to provide me tangeable help. He was very supportive and was able to recognize the complex nature of my illness despite not knowing the details of it. He is a terrific doctor and I'm so lucky to have him on my team.
SHC Patient, Mar 2017
Before I met with Dr. Duering I was naturally somewhat concerned. I had previously had two of the best doctors in the world before him, Drs. Ruoff and Liu. I believe those two men saved my life. I am happy, because Dr. Duering is impressive, in his own right. I am glad he is my Dr. now.
SHC Patient, Mar 2017
