Epilepsy Genetics Clinic

Epilepsy Genetics Clinic

specializes in the diagnosis and management of genetically determined epilepsies (even if after initial investigation the culprit gene(s) could not be determined) and familial epilepsies.

The approach involves comprehensive testing to identify the root cause and the development of a treatment plan that may include:

  • Medication
  • Neuromodulation
  • Epilepsy-specific diet treatment
  • Surgical resection of the affected area
Epilepsy Genetics Clinic

Patients who are seen by Dr. Andrade’s group have access to cutting-edge genetic research that may help determine the cause of their epilepsy and inform the best care plan.

They can also participate in precision medicine clinical trials.

Testimonials

quote

Dr. Andrade continues to be my professional hero in the world of medicine and for the independence she has given me living with Epilepsy.

Her brilliance amazes me. Yet her personal kindness to make sure you are always at the best state you can be in and helping you find that level if you are not, is what truly makes me feel blessed. Life has a lot of ups and downs but Dr. Andrade will always give hope that when there is a setback she has a solution to get you back on track. Dr. Andrade always takes my concerns seriously, is compassionate and uses her excellence in every way possible to make living with epilepsy easier. I have reached back to her a few times this year in need of help and she was there immediately to help, even with such a busy schedule. I have had another successful year of controlled seizures that has allowed me to get out of bed each morning feeling confident, safe, secure, and well supported.
