Our Clinical Neurophysiology Laboratory (EEG) offers comprehensive services, including routine, ambulatory, and long-term video-EEG for adults, children, and neonates. Continuous EEG monitoring is available across the neuro, medical, trauma, and pediatric ICUs. This integrated approach ensures patients throughout the network receive timely, expert care for both routine and complex epilepsy cases.
