  • About Dawn T Zapinski, MD

    Dr. Zapinski grew up in Northwest Indiana, the proud daughter of a hard-working immigrant mother and Hoosier father. She spent her childhood learning to play piano and flute and studied French, spending a year as an exchange student in France. Throughout her time in school, science was always a passion which led her on the path to becoming a physician. She has been practicing neurology in Indiana since 2003. In her free time, she enjoys playing flute in a local orchestra, travelling, exploring restaurants and spending time with her husband, family and friends.

    Philosophy of care

    I enjoy treating a wide variety of neurological & sleep disorders and working in an environment that fosters patient education as well as a sense of collaborative care and mutual respect.
