Seizure freedom, a good quality of life and minimal side effects are important goals for families of children with epilepsy.  It is to this end that Dr Pong brings recent clinical breakthroughs into her care paradigm, giving every family the best chance at seizure freedom and living their best life.

 

Dr. Pong believes that every child with seizures deserves a thorough work up including EEG for function, MRI for structure, plus genetic and neurometabolic testing.  We must know what processes are in play to discover how to best approach each person's seizure condition. 

 

Epilepsy treatment is the fastest growing area in neurology with one new antiseizure medication approval every 18 months on average over the past decade.  Many developments harness new pathways and mechanisms that represent unique opportunities for seizure control.    

 

Dr. Pong believes hope is everywhere.  There is never nothing to do.  We just have to gather our data, understand our tools, and take action.
