An epileptologist is a neurologist who is specially trained to care for people with epilepsy. In addition to our comprehensive epilepsy centers, the Sutter Health network has epileptologists spread across Northern California to provide care for you close to home.
A comprehensive (Level 4) epilepsy center specializes in treating patients with uncontrollable seizures, otherwise known as intractable, drug-resistant or refractory epilepsy. By combining the expertise of epileptologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, nurse specialists, EEG technologists, social workers and other specialists, these centers provide care that you can trust.
A Level 4 center provides more complex forms of neurodiagnostic monitoring and more extensive medical, neuropsychological and psychosocial treatment. These centers provide in-depth evaluations to locate the source of your seizures. When found, the centers offer a wide array of surgical procedures for epilepsy.
For people with uncontrolled seizures, a delayed or denied referral can pose serious health risks. If your seizures aren’t under control with your primary care doctor or neurologist, request a referral to one of the Sutter Health network’s comprehensive epilepsy centers.
