AdventHealth for Children Comprehensive Pediatric Epilepsy Center

  • Our Process

    Epilepsy is called “intractable” or “drug resistant” when a child has not responded to anti-seizure medications at a therapeutic level. That’s where we come in.

  • Pediatric Epilepsy Treatments

    We treat the whole child – body, mind and spirit – going beyond the basics of “seizure counts” to find effective, lasting, non-surgical and surgical epilepsy treatments to greatly reduce or even eliminate seizures.
