Dr. Cousin also enjoys treating patients with "bread and butter" epilepsy syndromes of childhood and new onset seizures.
[person:personal_statement]
I strive to treat my patients like I would my own family. My aim to try to explain complex aspects of epilepsy and its management in a simple to understand way and provide comfort and some peace of mind for a diagnosis that can be scary for patients and their families. My aim is to maximize my patients' quality of life through the appropriate medical, dietary, or surgical management of epilepsy.
