The Section of Neurology strives to improve the lives of children with neurological disorders through the integration of evidence-based clinical care, education and research. Our family-centered, interdisciplinary approach is designed to encourage parents and families to make informed decisions while promoting health, optimal function, and quality of life in children with neurological disorders. Our Comprehensive Epilepsy Center is nationally recognized and one of only a dozen pediatric centers in the country.

The Section of Neurology has 12 physicians who are board-certified in neurology. We have special expertise in neurophysiology, neuro-developmental disabilities and headaches. Three of our physicians have additional board certification in neurophysiology, and one has additional board certification in neuro-developmental disabilities. We have a child neurology fellowship program and three administrative staff members.
