Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Epilepsy neurologist do?

A Epilepsy neurologist is a Neurology physician with focused training in the evaluation and treatment of seizure disorders, including drug-resistant epilepsy. After completing Neurology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general neurologist typically handles day to day.

What conditions does a Epilepsy neurologist treat?

A Epilepsy neurologist commonly treats focal and generalized epilepsy, drug-resistant seizures, first-time seizure evaluation, video-EEG monitoring, and candidacy for epilepsy surgery. Many also see closely related conditions within Neurology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general neurologist.

When should I see a Epilepsy neurologist?

Consider seeing a Epilepsy neurologist when your seizures are not controlled on medication, or you are being evaluated for epilepsy surgery, when a primary care clinician or general neurologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Epilepsy neurologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.

How is a Epilepsy neurologist different from a general neurologist?

Both are board-eligible neurologists, but a Epilepsy neurologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the evaluation and treatment of seizure disorders, including drug-resistant epilepsy. General neurologists treat a broad range of Neurology concerns; Epilepsy neurologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with focal and generalized epilepsy, drug-resistant seizures, first-time seizure evaluation, video-EEG monitoring, and candidacy for epilepsy surgery.
