Pediatric neurological conditions are more common than many people realize — about 1 in 10 children experience a neurological disorder that affects learning, behavior, or development.

At Pediatric Neurology and Epilepsy Specialists, we help families navigate these challenges with advanced diagnostic tools like EEG testing and Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) care, along with individualized treatment plans designed for each child’s needs.

Not all abnormal movements are the same—and not all are easily recognized as seizures.

Signs can vary widely in children and may include staring spells, jerking movements, sudden stiffening, or brief episodes of confusion or unresponsiveness.

If you notice unusual or repetitive movements in your child, it’s important to have them evaluated. At Pediatric Neurology and Epilepsy, we specialize in diagnosing and treating seizure disorders with a compassionate, family-centered approach.

Ever heard of a “pacemaker for the brain”? 🧠 Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) is a treatment option for epilepsy that helps reduce seizures by sending mild electrical pulses to the brain through the vagus nerve.

A small device is placed under the skin in the chest and programmed by a neurologist to deliver personalized, continuous therapy—often without the patient even noticing. At Pediatric Neurology and Epilepsy, we help families explore advanced treatment options like VNS as part of comprehensive epilepsy care.
