Pediatric Epilepsy

Pediatric epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It can affect children of all ages and may have various underlying causes, including genetic factors, brain injuries, infections, or structural abnormalities. At our pediatric practice, we are committed to providing comprehensive care, support, and education to children with epilepsy and their families. In addition to medical management and seizure control, we focus on empowering families with seizure management strategies, fostering a supportive environment, and advocating for educational accommodations and community resources.
