Epilepsy Surgery Clinic
Health professional information
Clinical service overview
The aim of the clinic is to provide specialised care for people with epilepsy who are considering epilepsy surgery to treat their condition. This is a multidisciplinary clinic with experienced epilepsy surgery neurologists, neuropsychologists, epilepsy nurses and neurosurgeons. The clinic aims to focus and coordinate the journey through to epilepsy surgery and afterwards.
The clinic does not replace patients' usual neurologist or epilepsy specialist, who will continue to see them as normal, and will manage their medication and general epilepsy care.

MBS-billed service
On the doctor’s behalf, Alfred Health can bulk bill the cost of the consultation for some services through Medicare. This means there is no out of pocket expense to the patient.
MBS-billed services require a current referral. Provide your patient with a 12 month referral to see the specialist of your choice at the requested clinic.
Referrals must be addressed to a named specialist or the Head of service, listed at the top of this page. Clinic consultants are listed on every clinic page.
Note that from time to time, your patient may be seen by another specialist in the clinic, in order to expedite their treatment.
