Neurology
EPILEPSY CENTER
For children with epilepsy unresponsive to standard treatment we offer two special programs.
Ketogenic Diet Program
Our ketogenic diet program, one of the few in the San Francisco Bay Area, may help patients with appropriate histories.
We have many years experience with ketogenic diets. We also have a registered dietitian on staff who trained at Johns Hopkins University, one of the medical centers most experienced with the ketogenic diet. About 90 children have been through the program at Children’s Hospital Oakland.
Vagal Nerve Stimulator Program
Vagal nerve stimulator treatment is available to patients with refractory epilepsy. Treatment is offered in collaboration with staff from the Neurosurgery/Epilepsy Surgery department.
