About Me

That’s kind of the trick to treating people with epilepsy. You have to see the patient in front of you -- not in terms of the seizure disorder -- but the person and how they function in their world and how their seizures are affecting their everyday life.

I've been a patient of Dr. O'Dwyers for years. She listens intently, gathers more detailed information relative to my concerns/symptoms. She provides a detailed treatment plan and explains her concerns.
