Medical Director, Epilepsy Program, Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital
When we first started planning an epilepsy center at a community hospital, it became evident that Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital had the resources and drive to make it a premier center. We are pleased to offer comprehensive epilepsy care in a community setting and have achieved Level 3 Accreditation from the National Association of Epilepsy Centers in a short time. Because of our relationship with the consortium, patients are able to receive their care close to home, knowing that there are many experts participating in the complex decision making of hard to treat epilepsy.
