About Me

Conditions I specialize in
  • Sleep Medicine

Dr. Pullen-James was voted Cincinnati Top Doctor in 2020. She is a recipient of the Cincinnati Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Inc. Fortitude Award and has had work published in the Journal of the National Medical Association. She completed her medical training at the Howard University College of Medicine in Washington, D.C. Her current clinical focus includes all aspects of sleep medicine: OSA, Insomnia, Narcolepsy, REM Behavior Disorder, Idiopathic hypersomnia, Restless Legs, PLMD, and Parasomnia.

Dr. Pullen-James was inspired to become a physician because she wanted to change the narrative. Her desire is that ALL people feel comfortable seeking medical help. Her patients will leave an appointment with her having a complete understanding of their condition and what the plan is for their care. Improving a patient’s quality of life is the ultimate success.

In her free time she enjoys traveling with her family, inspiring youth through community service with her sorority, and watching her children grow up.

      Dr Pullen and her team were very thorough with their questions. They took a lot of time to understand my medical background and sleep habits. Dr Pullen had in depth answers to all of my questions. She also is highly confident and is willing to consider a range of underlying causes.
