Individualized Patient Care
Hoag’s team of expert physicians specializes in addressing the unique needs of adolescent and adult epilepsy patients throughout the different stages of their lives.
Adolescents
Many epilepsy patients are diagnosed in childhood and treated in a pediatric setting. But as patients grow into adulthood, it becomes necessary to
move care to an adult environment. Hoag Epilepsy Center understands the unique needs of adolescent epilepsy patients and helps patients address the "tough" questions about dating, driving, college, and work.
Adults
For those who experience their first seizure as an adult, epilepsy can pose restrictions on work and driving that have major impacts on a person’s lifestyle. Hoag Epilepsy Center assists patients with new onset seizures by providing appointments for evaluation and diagnosis usually within one week.
Women
Women with epilepsy have additional issues to consider, including contraception, fertility, pregnancy, and hormone replacement therapy. Hoag specialists work with each woman to design a treatment plan that will best suit her needs.
Seniors
Because many seniors take several medications for various conditions, Hoag epileptologists closely monitor each patient’s prescriptions to ensure no drug interactions occur.
