About the Children's Epilepsy Surgery Program

At the UPMC Children's Epilepsy Surgery Program, our experts are always talking to their peers.

Our team meets and talks about each child we see. We review all of their health history and scans.

From this meeting, we come up with a treatment plan. We focus on options that will help each child the most.
