Patient Services
Our epilepsy faculty sees patients on referral from other doctors, for second opinions, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment recommendations for all types and severity of epilepsy. We consider the special situations faced by epilepsy patients and can provide input, recommendations on management, evaluation and treatment, including new medications, and surgical options for medically uncontrollable seizures.
Your First Visit with Us:
Who to Call for Appointments:
Adults (203) 785-3865
Pediatrics (203) 785-5730
To schedule an appointment with the Neurologist, you must have a physician
referral letter. Pediatric Epilepsy patients should have their physician
fill out the referral letter. We also have an Adult First Seizure Clinic,
so if this referral is based on new onset of seizures please instruct
the administrative assistant.
