Epilepsy care has changed a lot in the last decade. Today, “surgery” doesn’t always mean a large operation — it often means options. From minimally invasive techniques like laser therapy and stereo-EEG (sEEG) to neuromodulation devices (RNS, DBS, VNS) that help calm seizure networks, we now have more ways than ever to tailor treatment to each patient’s brain and life.
A surgical consultation isn’t a commitment — it’s a conversation. You can expect a careful review of seizure history, imaging, EEG data, and prior treatments, followed by an honest discussion of all available options: surgery, devices, medication adjustments, or sometimes reassurance that surgery isn’t needed at all. Families have time to ask questions, understand risks and benefits, and hear what outcomes realistically look like.
Our goal is clarity, not pressure — helping patients and families understand what’s possible today, and what the next best step might be toward fewer seizures and a better quality of life.
