Welcome
Welcome! Our epilepsy program was founded in 1998 with the goals of providing exceptional medical quality and care to those living in the Northeast of the USA. Our guiding principle has always been to develop our services around patient needs.
In order to accomplish exceptional medical quality, we assembled some of the most talented physicians from around the country, recruiting only board certified neurologists who had completed specialty training at the top American academic epilepsy centers. We provide round the clock, seven day-a- week availability to patients by these highly trained epilepsy doctors (never by doctors in training). We also placed our epilepsy experts close to where patients live rather than expecting patients to travel to them.

Welcome
In recent years, we are proud to have achieved Level 4 designations in three of our hospital-based epilepsy programs. Patients can choose from our 16 offices and we have 19 hospital based epilepsy-monitoring units. We also host several specialty clinics for unique disorders in epilepsy including Dravet's Syndrome and tuberous sclerosis and specialty programs for women with epilepsy and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES).
I invite you to take a few minutes to visit the rest of our site and welcome you when you come see us in person in the near future.
Sincerely,
Marcelo Lancman, MD
