Pediatric Neurology
Patient-centered program for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults
When one thinks of neurological conditions in children, epilepsy quickly comes to mind. That’s probably because there are more than 2.5 million Americans living with epilepsy today.
The truth is there are a number of neurological conditions which impact children – everything from headache and migraine disorders through movement disorders. In each instance, it’s vital that a partnership is formed with your neurologist to help you and your child learn to manage the condition. That’s where we come in. Our specialists work closely with families to help them improve the quality of life for their child and manage their neurological condition.
