Seeking patient care?
The UHealth Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at the Miller School of Medicine is the oldest comprehensive epilepsy center in South Florida and has had a truly distinguished history.
Our first mission is to provide comprehensive evaluations and treatments to adult and pediatric patients suffering from new-onset, chronic and treatment-resistant epilepsy. The aim is to achieve a seizure-free state, incorporating the management of the comorbid medical, neurologic, psychiatric, and cognitive disorders that are often associated with epilepsy.
Our second mission is to educate medical students, neurology residents, epilepsy fellows, and clinical neurophysiology fellows, as well as neuropsychology residents and fellows, in the evaluation and management of patients with epilepsy. Our Comprehensive Epilepsy Center also offers a two-to three month observership to neurology residents from Latin America and Spain.
Our third mission is to develop research in the areas of pharmacologic, surgical, and psychiatric aspects of epilepsy.
The Comprehensive Epilepsy Center has been designated as a level-IV center by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers. This designation is given to centers that provide the most comprehensive evaluations and treatments for all forms of epilepsy.
