At Mayo Clinic, multiple experts collaborate across medical specialties to understand the cause
of your
epilepsy
and outline the best course of treatment for your seizures and other medical needs.
Effective epilepsy treatment is more than neurology. Treatment includes a multidisciplinary team
of
epileptologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, specialized nurses and others working
together.
Not only do Mayo Clinic doctors specialize in specific types and causes of epilepsy, they have
access to
other
Mayo Clinic doctors who span virtually every specialty of care. Our epilepsy specialists
collaborate and
frequently consult with other physicians and researchers — working from a single health record —
to
provide a
truly tailored experience for each individual patient.
An entire medical team personalizes treatment for you.
