Divya Gupta, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Sleep Medicine
BioDr. Divya Gupta is a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurologist with Stanford Health Care. She is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Division of Sleep Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.
As a sleep medicine specialist, Dr. Gupta has expertise caring for a wide range of sleep disorders in children and adults. She develops personalized treatment plans for problems such as insomnia, sleep-related breathing disorders, disruptive nighttime sleep behaviors, and sleep-related movement disorders. She specializes in pediatric neurology and diagnosing and managing developmental disorders in children. Dr. Gupta works closely with patients and families to help improve sleep quality and overall quality of life.
Dr. Gupta is a physician-researcher in the neurology field, focused on studying neurological disorders in children. She has evaluated seizure management, including febrile seizures (convulsions caused by a fever) and severe epilepsy syndromes. She has examined how brain inflammation and genetic conditions affect the brain and sleep. Her recent studies have explored sleep disorders in children living with autism spectrum disorder, investigating the impact of conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea and ways to improve sleep evaluations.
Dr. Gupta has published her findings in the HealthCare Ethics Committee Forum and Annals of the Child Neurology Society. She has also presented her research across the nation at meetings of the American Academy of Neurology, Associated Professional Sleep Societies (SLEEP Meeting), and Child Neurology Society (CNS).

Brooke Gurland, MD, FACS
Clinical Professor, Surgery - General Surgery
BioPelvic floor and functional bowel disorders encompass a wide range of symptoms and conditions that affect people of all ages and genders. These include constipation, obstructed defecation, fecal incontinence, rectal prolapse, pelvic organ prolapse, irritable bowel disorders, and urinary and sexual dysfunction. While rarely life-threatening, these conditions profoundly affect quality of life, self-confidence, and daily function — and they deserve the same serious, compassionate attention as any other illness.
I am a colorectal surgeon and lifestyle medicine physician specializing in anorectal disorders and pelvic floor dysfunction. I serve as Research Director of the Stanford Pelvic Health Center, where I lead a multidisciplinary program that brings together colorectal surgery, urogynecology, urology, gastroenterology, and pelvic floor physical therapy to provide integrated, whole-person care.
My surgical training was at Cleveland Clinic, where I spent nearly a decade building and leading a multidisciplinary pelvic floor clinic and performing hundreds of combined procedures with colleagues in urology and urogynecology. I was among the early adopters of robotic surgical techniques for women with combined vaginal and rectal prolapse, and developed expertise in complex procedures including repair of intestinal and rectovaginal fistula. Earlier in my career, I established a Pelvic Floor Center at Maimonides Medical Center, where I received a Jahnigan Career Development Award studying multicompartment prolapse in elderly women. I joined Stanford's Department of Surgery, Division of Colorectal Surgery in 2017.
My research spans surgical outcomes, pelvic floor quality of life, and patient-centered technology. I am the principal investigator for the Stanford Pelvic Health Registry, a longitudinal database of over 475 patients with rectal prolapse followed since 2018. I was a 2020–2021 Stanford Biodesign Fellow, and my current work includes development and validation of disease-specific patient education tools. I believe that patients who understand their condition make better decisions — and recover better too.
I am also board-certified in lifestyle medicine. Prevention, diet, exercise, pelvic floor physical therapy, and behavior change are not secondary to surgery in my practice — they are the first line of care. Surgery, when it is needed, works best in patients whose lifestyle has been optimized. This philosophy guides how I counsel patients and how I train the next generation of surgeons and clinicians.
When I am not in the clinic or operating room, I can be found at the farmers market, fermenting something in my kitchen, practicing yoga, or spending time with my dog. -
