You are here because your child is having seizures. Your child is not alone. In fact, nearly 3 million Americans have epilepsy - about 450,000 of them are kids 17 and under.
In West Virginia alone, more than 35,000 people are living with epilepsy - about 8,000 are children and 1/3 of them are medically intractable (medications don’t work).
You’ve come to the right place.
The goal of the WVU Medicine Children’s Epilepsy Program is getting kids to be 100% seizure-free. Our state-of-the-art center is recognized by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers as a Level 4 facility. This is the highest level awarded, which means we provide the most innovative diagnostics as well as the latest surgical and nonsurgical treatments for those with complex pediatric epilepsy all while providing support and guidance for families.
Our team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, and pediatric seizure specialists (epileptologists) work together to provide the very best care. We have the latest offer procedures to diagnose conditions, perform treatments, and use technologies to monitor seizures that aren’t found at any other hospital in West Virginia.
