For most people, epilepsy can be managed with medication. Other times, epilepsy may be best treated with surgical options; in these instances, your neurologist will work a NeuroMedical neurosurgeon who specializes in surgeries aimed at controlling seizures. At The NeuroMedical Center, the goal of our Epilepsy Program is to correctly diagnose your condition and help you choose the right treatment to improve your quality of life.
