Expert Epilepsy Care
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that can cause seizures and brief moments of loss of awareness / unconsciousness. If you or a loved one is living with epilepsy, you need care from specialists who can help identify where the seizures are coming from and deliver the latest, most effective treatments.
Scarsdale Medical Group's epileptologist will discuss your symptoms, obtain your medical history and perform various blood tests and neurological exams for a complete diagnosis. Every person with epilepsy is different which is why our care team creates a highly specific tailored treatment plan just for you.
Our doctors have access to the newest medications and treatment options to help reduce or eliminate seizures. We will monitor your progress and make any necessary changes to your care plan to ensure you’re living a happy healthy fulfilling life.
We utilize the following diagnostic tools to help diagnose epilepsy:
- Advanced imaging technologies such as MRI and PET scans that take images of your brain to look for changes that may cause epilepsy
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) records your brain’s electrical activity
- When and if necessary, we can arrange for Intracranial EEG (iEEG) and Brain mapping
Through treatment and compassionate support, Scarsdale Medical Group’s epilepsy care team will help you understand and get your condition under control to improve your quality of life.
