The OSF Comprehensive Epilepsy Program was established in 1995. Dr. Edward Hui is the Medical Director. People from a 28-county area have turned to the OSF Comprehensive Program for help in controlling their seizures.
Appointments are by physician referral only.
There are currently 800 patients being followed by the program team with an average of eight new referrals every week. These people are ordinarily seen first at the outpatient clinic. While there it will be determined if they need to be hospitalized for further diagnosis. The EEG department performs both inpatient and outpatient EEGs and video EEGs. These video EEGs make it possible to observe brain waves and physical activity at the same time.
