Epilepsy surgery saves lives

DON’T DELAY

New research shows that children with drug-resistant seizures live longer after epilepsy surgery. The longer your child has seizures, the more devastating the consequences can be. The sooner your child has a surgical evaluation, the sooner you can understand all available treatment options.

It’s time to get informed.

Learn if your child should have a surgical evaluation.

When seizures don’t stop with medicatIon, you deserve clear answers sooner. It’s important to understand every option before anyone talks about neurosurgery for your child:

  • what evaluation involves
  • what surgery could (and could not) do
  • and what happens if you wait.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. We’ll walk with you, step by step.

Parenting a medically complex child can be lonely. And treating seizures can be costly, especially if you have to travel for a surgical evaluation. We provide deep informational resources, emotional, and financial support for families before and after surgery.
