Our Services

Our epilepsy treatment approach includes:

• Diet
• Epilepsy surgery
• Medications
• Neurostimulation devices, including vagal nerve stimulation and the newly approved NeuroPace, a leading-edge technology that can detect and terminate seizures by using a sophisticated brain stimulation approach

ROSA Robot Epilepsy Surgery

Robotized Surgical Assistant, or ROSA, is the latest advanced robotic-assisted surgery tool being used by neurosurgeons to treat epileptic seizures without open brain surgery. Acting like a "GPS" for the skull, neurosurgeons use a 3-D reconstruction of a patient’s brain to guide them to make small, precise incisions in the scalp and skull to place electrodes deep in the brain to investigate where seizures are triggered.

NeuroPace

NeuroPace, a small battery-powered device implanted in the skull, records electrical activity in the brain and sends electrical impulses to the brain to prevent seizures. We were the first center in South Florida to perform the NeuroPace surgery and are now one of just a few centers in the nation to provide this everyday extraordinary treatment.

Epilepsy Monitoring Unit

Our epilepsy monitoring unit uses a sophisticated computer monitoring system to record the brain activity of patients who have epilepsy. Patients are observed in a comfortable setting, often with family members present, round the clock for several days. Our expert physicians study this information to pinpoint seizures and create individualized treatment plans.
