EPILEPSY

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that affects 2.5-3 million people in the United States and is described as a condition of recurring seizures. There are many types of seizures and different forms of epilepsy. A seizure is generated by abnormal electrical discharges of brain cells that disrupts normal function. As a result, seizures can produce a wide variety of symptoms, including a change in a person's consciousness or behavior and uncontrolled movements or sensations... We accomplish this by combining academic excellence normally provided at large universities with the personal attention of a private medical practice. With this model in mind, our physicians use their experience in clinical research when making recommendations to patients. As a result, we provide cutting edge treatment options and the best epilepsy care in the DC and Mid-Atlantic region.
