  • Dr. Lamotte has a broad background in medicine and neurology with specialty training and expertise in movement disorders and autonomic disorders. He completed a neurology residency at the University Hospital of Caen in France and did a year of supplementary training in movement disorders during his first neurology residency. He then completed the clinician-scientist track between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Medstar Georgetown University Hospital as his second neurology residency in the United States. He worked under the guidance of Dr. David Goldstein in the autonomic medicine section at the NIH and developed his clinical skills in autonomic medicine through history taking and physical examinations, as well as exposure to autonomic function testing procedures. He gained experience in conducting clinical research in autonomic disorders focusing on autonomic nervous system dysfunction in synucleinopathies. He completed a clinical fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, where he had a broad exposure to various autonomic disorders in the clinic and autonomic laboratory. He is pursuing an academic career focused on clinical research in the fields of autonomic and movement disorders and is currently an assistant professor in neurology at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, where he sees patients with movement disorders and autonomic disorders.

    I was transferred to Dr. Lamotte from my doctor who left. I was nervous and concerned about having to explain everything. I was pleasantly surprised that Dr. Lamotte had thoroughly reviewed my records and had a plan that was different from my previous doctor that wasn't helping. I am hopeful that this new medication will help.
