Our Team
Neurologists
The neurologist is the doctor who possesses specialized knowledge and skill in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy and will manage and direct your neurologic care.
Neurosurgeons
If needed, a neurosurgeon will perform your epilepsy surgery and supervise your care immediately following your surgery. The neurosurgeon will also follow your progress after you are discharged from the hospital, working closely with the rest of your neurology team.
Neuropsychologists
If you are being considered for epilepsy surgery, a neuropsychologist will meet with you during the evaluation to obtain a general mental health history, as well as to help clarify any potential risks that may result from the surgery.
Advanced Practice Providers
Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are members of the epilepsy team who practice medicine under the supervision of a licensed physician. The NP may obtain your medical history, perform your physical exam and adjust your medications.
