Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the nervous system, causing recurrent seizures. Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, and can manifest in a variety of ways, including loss of consciousness, convulsions, and abnormal movements or sensations.
Epilepsy is a common and often debilitating disease that affects millions of people worldwide. At our clinic, our team of board-certified neurologists specializing in epilepsy offers top-of-the-line care for patients with refractory epilepsy.
Our specialists have undergone excellent fellowship training in epilepsy, and have extensive experience treating epilepsy using all advanced management options available. We are committed to providing the best care possible to our patients, and our long-standing reputation in the field of epilepsy care speaks for itself.
After a comprehensive clinical evaluation, our specialists order the most appropriate diagnostic testing to identify the type of epilepsy and its origin in the brain. Some of the testing we use to best diagnose epilepsy includes long-term monitoring (EMU), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Ictal SPECT, Magnetoencephalography (MEG), and Stereoelectronecephalography (SEEG).
Once a diagnosis is made, our physicians work closely with patients to develop the best antiepileptic management plan, including medication therapy and, in refractory cases, surgical options such as resective epilepsy surgery, responsive neurostimulation (RNS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), or deep brain stimulation (DBS).
At our clinic, we understand the challenges that epilepsy can present and are here to provide the support and care that patients need. If you or a loved one is living with epilepsy, contact us today to learn more about our epilepsy services and how we can help.

After conducting a comprehensive clinical evaluation, our specialists utilize the most suitable diagnostic tests to accurately identify the type of epilepsy and pinpoint its origin within the brain.
Some of the diagnostic tests we may employ to thoroughly diagnose your epilepsy include:
Upon diagnosing your epilepsy, our physicians will devise the most effective antiepileptic management plan tailored to your specific needs. In cases of refractory epilepsy, we offer advanced treatment options.
Neurostimulators provide treatment for focal seizures by using electrical pulses as an alternative when medication proves ineffective and surgical interventions such as removal or destruction of brain tissue carry a risk of harm.
We will work with you to determine whether responsive neurostimulation (RNS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), or deep brain stimulation are right for you.
Our clinic provides comprehensive epilepsy surgery assessments to determine if surgical intervention is a viable option for managing epilepsy.
We conduct a thorough evaluation and testing, including imaging studies and long-term EEG monitoring, to identify the location and type of seizures.
Based on the results, we develop personalized treatment plans that may include resective surgery. We strive to provide the highest level of care for our patients to improve their quality of life and achieve better seizure control.
As a state-of-the-art neurology practice, we offer comprehensive services to diagnose, manage, and treat a broad range of neurological conditions in adults and children.
