Epilepsy/Seizure Diagnosis and Treatment by Top Neurologists in Arizona

Living with seizure disorders requires specialized care, and that's what we excel at. At Neurology Associates Neuroscience Center in Arizona, our board-certified neurologists blend their deep expertise with advanced technology to offer holistic care.


 We focus on individualized treatment plans to help you navigate life with greater confidence and fewer interruptions.


What are Seizure Disorders?


Seizure disorders, medically known as epilepsy, are neurological conditions characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. 


These events occur when the brain's normal electrical patterns are disrupted, causing temporary changes in a person's behavior, movements, or consciousness.


While some people may experience a single seizure during their lifetime, a seizure disorder diagnosis typically comes after having two or more unprovoked seizures.


Types of Seizure Disorders


Focal Epilepsy


Seizures that begin in one area of the brain are called localized seizures. At Neurology Associates, we frequently treat patients experiencing these localized seizures, which can occur with or without loss of consciousness.


Generalized Epilepsy


These seizures involve both sides of the brain simultaneously. Our neurologists provide comprehensive care for patients experiencing these more widespread seizures.


  • Sudden loss of consciousness

  • Muscle stiffening

  • Rhythmic jerking movements

  • Brief absence episodes (staring spells)


Status Epilepticus

This medical emergency is characterized by prolonged or repeated seizure activity that persists for more than five minutes without the individual regaining consciousness between episodes. It is life-threatening and requires immediate attention to prevent potential brain damage, long-term complications, or even fatality.


  • Prolonged seizure activity

  • Confusion between episodes

  • Difficulty breathing

  • Loss of bladder control


Diagnostic Procedures for Seizure Disorders at Neurology Associates


Electroencephalogram (EEG)


Our EEG laboratory provides detailed recordings of your brain's electrical activity. This essential diagnostic tool helps our neurologists identify abnormal brain wave patterns and locate the specific areas where seizures originate, enabling precise treatment planning.


Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)


The advanced MRI technology produces detailed images of your brain structure. These high-resolution scans help our specialists identify any structural abnormalities, tumors, or lesions that might be causing your seizures, crucial for developing an effective treatment strategy.


Neuropsychological Evaluation


Our comprehensive neuropsychological assessments measure cognitive function and brain performance. These detailed evaluations help our team understand how seizures affect your thinking, memory, and behavior, allowing us to create more targeted treatment plans.
