Care Providers
Living with epilepsy can be a journey that requires the support of a dedicated team of care providers. As our neurological system changes, it can create a ripple effect on other parts of our body and mind, necessitating additional attention and care. At Seizure Free, we understand the importance of this comprehensive care, and we are here to provide you with the information, resources, and support you need to navigate this path toward a seizure-free life.


Neurologists
Neurologists
Neurologists are physicians specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system, including epilepsy. They conduct neurological assessments, order diagnostic tests (such as EEG and imaging studies), prescribe antiepileptic medications, and develop treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.


Epileptologists
Epileptologists
An epileptologist is a neurologist with specialized training and expertise in epilepsy diagnosis and management. They often work in epilepsy centers and provide comprehensive evaluations, medication adjustments, seizure monitoring, and guidance on advanced treatment options, such as surgical interventions or neuromodulation therapies.


Neurosurgeons
