Epilepsy And Brain Health Center 

Dr Nitin K Sethi, MD

 

I am a board certified neurologist with interests in Clinical Neurology, Epilepsy, Tropical/ Infectious Neurology, Sleep Medicine, Concussions and Sports Neurology. The human brain has always fascinated me from a young age and hence after finishing my residency in Internal Medicine (Diplomate of National Boards in Internal Medicine, India).  I decided to follow in my father’s footsteps and specialize in Neurology and further sub-specialize in Clinical Neurophysiology, Epilepsy, Sleep Medicine and Ringside (Sports) Medicine. My goal is to provide comprehensive care to patients suffering from various neurological conditions such as seizures, headaches, brain tumors, infections of the nervous system, concussions, traumatic brain injury, sleep disorders, back pain among others. Neurological conditions such as a sudden severe headache, a seizure or a stroke are frequently scary both for the patient and family. Patients seek answers to what plagues them. Early diagnosis and effective treatment is what patients seek and that is what I strive to provide.
