The Program
 About Our Program. The Epilepsy and Brain Mapping Program is a comprehensive epilepsy center comprised of a 35-member team of board-certified experts in neurology, neurosurgery, epileptology, epilepsy nursing, neuropsychology, MEG, Video EEG, MRI, MRS, SPECT, PET and other advanced tests of the cerebral function.
Our physicians are internationally known for their clinical and scientific expertise, experience, and outstanding outcome data. With nearly 20 years of combined experience in treating the most difficult seizure disorders, or team is dedicated to providing individualized, one-on-one care with attention to both medical and emotional needs. We recognized the importance of being accessible to our patients when questions arise and we offer maximum support. We believe that every patient should receive the best medical care in the treatment of epilepsy and that all treatment options should be available.

    The program's goals are to:
  • Confirm the diagnosis and classification of the patient's seizures
  • Determine the impact of the seizure disorder on the patient's life
  • Determine the best course of treatment for the patient
  • If surgery is indicated, perform surgery to reduce or eliminate seizures
  • Provide rehabilitation and follow-up after surgery
  • Enroll the patient in a pharmacological clinical trial (experimental treatment with medication) if surgery and other treatments are not recommended
  • Improve the patient's quality of life
