Here are some tips on finding medical professionals and epilepsy centers wherever you are located.
The American Epilepsy Society (AES) provides a searchable database of physicians who are epileptologists or specialize in some way in the care or research of people with epilepsy. While most epileptologists are members of AES, a professional organization of health care professionals interested in epilepsy, this database is not inclusive of all epileptologists or specialists.
Please Note: This list includes all active members of the American Epilepsy Society, which includes health care professionals who are in clinical practice and have agreed to share their information, as well as other non-health care professionals interested in the field of epilepsy.
An epilepsy center is a group of health care professionals who specialize in the diagnosis, care, and treatment of people with seizures and epilepsy. Usually led by an epileptologist (a neurologist specializing in epilepsy), the specialized center should also include other health care professionals to meet the diverse needs of people with seizures and their families.
Find an epilepsy center by searching the database of members of the National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC), a group dedicated to promoting a team approach to epilepsy care.
The Veterans Affairs (VA) Epilepsy Centers of Excellence (ECoE) are specialty care centers located at 16 sites across the VA health care system and organized into four regional centers. Its mission is to improve the health and well-being of veterans with epilepsy and other seizure disorders through the integration of clinical care, outreach, research, and education. If you or someone you know is a veteran with seizures, talk with your health care provider about whether you might benefit from the services at an ECoE and about assistance with scheduling an appointment. For more information, please email ECoE@va.gov or visit the VA epilepsy website at www.epilepsy.va.gov.
