Ilona Spitsyna Humes, MD

“Although seizures and epilepsy are rather prevalent disorders, I believe each case is unique and each patient requires a different approach. With a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic options available, I find it very important to offer a tailored strategy in every case. I enjoy working with patients and their families to meet each patient’s individuals goals, achieve freedom from seizures and enrich their quality of life.“
