Outstanding Epilepsy Care
The MCG Epilepsy Center has been named a Level 4 specialized epilepsy center by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers. A Level 4 center is a regional or national referral center that provides the more complex forms of intensive neurodiagnostic monitoring as well as more extensive medical, neuropsychological and psychosocial treatment. Such centers also offer a complete evaluation and offer a broad array of surgical procedures.
“Since 1977, the program has treated more than 30,000 patients from California and Bermuda to Korea,” said epileptologist Dr. Ki Lee, the program’s director. “As a national referral center, we treat patients with intractable epilepsy in which the seizures cannot be controlled simply by medication. Thanks to innovations in the treatment of this disorder, we are now able to end seizures, without side effects, in a majority of patients.”
The MCG Epilepsy Center is one of only three in the state. It is the only epilepsy center in Georgia and South Carolina to earn this designation.
