Living with epilepsy can be difficult and challenging.
Yet even while we and other university neurology researchers and physicians around the world continue to explore cures, great strides have been made.
Patients, for example, now can find an expanding world of knowledge to help them cope with the disease, recognize and avoid certain things that may trigger seizures, and mitigate their effects with the latest proven treatments that emerge from the research that university hospitals like ours do.
Here, you will also find some of the brightest stars in neurology at University of Colorado Hospital, as well as the broadest, deepest array of epilepsy specialists and providers in the Rocky Mountain region.
