Specialized neurological care through every stage of a woman's life including
family planning, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause and menopause.
Hormonal changes throughout a woman's life can affect neurological symptoms,
treatment needs and overall well-being. Whether you are planning a pregnancy,
currently pregnant, recovering after delivery, navigating perimenopause
or experiencing menopause, our clinic is here to help.
We provide specialized neurological care for women with epilepsy, seizure
disorders, migraines, multiple sclerosis (MS), a history of stroke and
other neurologic conditions, working closely with your care team to support
your health at every stage of life.
If you have epilepsy or a seizure disorder and are planning a pregnancy,
we recommend being seen before conception so we can review your treatment
plan and help reduce risks for you and your baby.
