Biography
The University of Texas Southwestern Epilepsy Program was founded in 1984 and I have been the director since 1995. With 9 adult and pediatric faculty, we offer comprehensive, state of the art, evaluations for seizures and epilepsy in adults and children. Treatment options include epilepsy surgery, standard antiepileptic drugs and investigational drug studies for specific forms of epilepsy and implanted devices to control or reduce seizures.
