Specialists and Care Centers

The Northwestern Medicine Comprehensive Epilepsy Center is devoted to caring for patients living with epilepsy and other seizure disorders. The center is made up of a multidisciplinary team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, specialized nurses and EEG technicians who all are committed to providing excellent care for patients with seizures.

We offer dedicated programs for:

• Epilepsy surgery
• Genetic testing for epilepsy
• Women with epilepsy
• Autoimmune epilepsy
• Brain tumor-related epilepsy

The Comprehensive Epilepsy Center is anchored by two hospitals, Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital, designated by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers. We also offer epilepsy care at multiple locations in the northern suburbs.

No matter which location you choose, our physicians will work together to determine how to best treat your seizures in a way that minimizes significant side effects and maximizes your quality of life.
