“With 40 types of epilepsy and ten types of seizures, epilepsy is an amazingly complex condition,” says epilepsy specialist and Neuroscience Institute Medical Director David Vossler, MD. “I am exceedingly proud of the multi-disciplinary team we’ve assembled to evaluate and collaboratively treat those in our community with epilepsy and our Level 4 certification which places us in the top tier of epilepsy centers nationally.”
