Epilepsy is a condition that can have a strong effect on your quality of life. That’s why Norton Neuroscience Institute is committed to improving epilepsy care for all of our patients through a comprehensive epilepsy center.
Our patients have access to epilepsy specialists and a network of providers with expertise in many specialties, so the epilepsy center is truly a one-stop shop for epilepsy care.
