Introduction
The Medical College of Georgia Pediatric Epilepsy Service seeks to serve the
needs of children with epilepsy and their families. For many children with
epilepsy, seizures are completely controlled with drug therapy. For others,
however, uncontrolled or poorly controlled seizures persist with the usual
treatment. For these children, epilepsy presents a significant obstacle. Our
aim is to help these children and families overcome this obstacle and to
achieve their full potential.
If your child with epilepsy does not have satisfactory control of seizures,
then our program may be able to help. Our goals are to reduce the number of
seizures to the lowest level possible and to minimize the complications of
treatment. Often, these goals can be achieved by a combination of various
types of treatment.

The National
Association of Epilepsy Centers recognizes the MCG Comprehensive
Epilepsy Program as a Level IV center, the highest designation given.
Patients and their families benefit from the most up-to-date technology
available. Health professionals in neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychology,
nursing and EEG technology provide a full range of diagnostic services,
medical treatments and surgical procedures.
