EPILEPSY CLINIC
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of the nervous system characterized by the occurrence of repetitive unprovoked seizures. A seizure is an acute, episodic, stereotyped, alteration in cerebral function due to excessive neuronal discharges in the brain. It has a specific onset and an offset. The staff in the Vardaan’s Epilepsy Clinic offers many services to people who have epilepsy, a condition in which the electrical activity in your brain functions abnormally.
An integrated team of doctors trained in neuromuscular conditions (neurologists), brain surgeons (neurosurgeons) and mental health specialists (psychologists) works together to evaluate and treat your condition.
Epilepsy Clinic offers patients many of the newest therapies and treatments for controlling seizures. Our neurologists, psychiatrists, and social workers provide a variety of assistance.
Following a referral by a family physician or neurologist, clinic services are provided with three key patient groups in mind:
1.) Patients with hard to control (refractory) seizures
2.) women with epilepsy
3.) Patients who are potential surgical candidates
