What do Epileptologists do?

Epileptologists are specialists who have completed advanced training in neurology to diagnose and treat epilepsy. 

They work in epilepsy centers with a comprehensive team approach to find the best treatment plan, including medications, surgical options, or dietary therapies, to control or reduce seizures. 

You can find a local specialist or epilepsy center using resources from organizations like the Epilepsy Foundation.  

  • Conduct thorough evaluations, including detailed medical histories and physical examinations. 
  • Perform electroencephalograms (EEGs) to monitor and diagnose brain activity and seizure patterns. 
  • Develop tailored treatment plans that may include antiseizure medications, dietary approaches such as the ketogenic diet, or surgical options. 
  • Guide lifestyle management and connect patients with necessary support services.
