Find a Health Care Provider

Finding a doctor that is a good match for you
There are many different options for medical providers for patients with epilepsy.

Epilepsy Alliance America recommends that individuals with uncontrolled epilepsy, whenever possible, seek the services of a pediatric or adult Epileptologist to help manage their epilepsy.

What is the difference between an Epileptologist and a Neurologist?
Epileptologists are physicians that are trained to treat epilepsy and seizure disorders.
Neurologists are physicians that deal with the nervous system and disorders that affect it, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and Huntington’s disease.
All Epileptologists are neurologists, but not all Neurologists are Epileptologists!

If you are looking for a second opinion, to switch providers, or find your first provider, the most important thing to do is to check and see what physicians or hospitals are considered “in-network” for your health insurance company. This will save you money by not having to pay out-of-pocket for medical care.
