Neurologists Directory
Epilepsy Specialists
Epilepsy specialists (epileptologists) diagnose and manage seizure disorders with medication, EEG monitoring, and — for drug-resistant epilepsy — evaluation for surgery, devices, or dietary therapy at a comprehensive epilepsy center.

Searchable database built with the American Epilepsy Society.
Epilepsy Foundation — Find an Epilepsy Center
For seizures that aren't controlled by medication, a National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC)-recognized center offers a full diagnostic and surgical team.
Zocdoc
Search 'neurologist' plus your city, filter by insurance, and book same-week video or in-person visits.
Healthgrades
Look up board certification, hospital affiliations, and patient reviews for individual neurologists.
What to filter for
Search by what you're dealing with — migraines, seizures, tremor, memory loss — most directories let you filter or search by symptom.
General neurologist vs. a fellowship-trained subspecialist (epileptologist, movement disorder specialist, neuro-oncologist, etc.).
Filter by your plan on Zocdoc, Healthgrades, or Medicare Care Compare before you book, or call the office to confirm they're in-network.
Ask if the practice runs EEGs (routine or ambulatory) in-office, or if you'll be referred to an outside lab or epilepsy center.
Ask if the practice performs EMG/nerve conduction studies on-site — important for neuropathy, muscle weakness, and neuromuscular workups.
Ask whether the practice offers formal cognitive testing (e.g., MoCA, neuropsychological evaluation) for memory or dementia concerns.
FAQ
What's an epileptologist?
A neurologist with additional fellowship training specifically in epilepsy and EEG interpretation — the right specialist if seizures are frequent, unclear, or not responding to standard medication.
When do I need a Level 4 epilepsy center instead of a specialist's office?
If seizures continue despite trying two or more medications ('drug-resistant epilepsy'), a comprehensive center can offer video-EEG monitoring, surgical evaluation, neurostimulation devices, and dietary therapy.
