Dr. Lara C. Wadi
Overview
I care for people living with seizures and epilepsy, including those with drug-resistant epilepsy. My focus is on finding the most effective and safest treatment strategy for each person; whether that’s medication, evaluation for epilepsy surgery, or neuromodulation therapies. I also work to identify related challenges like anxiety, depression, sleep, and/or cognitive issues, which can greatly affect quality of life. I chose this field because every seizure tells a story. No two journeys are the same and I believe that medical care should reflect that. I take the time to listen, understand, and partner with patients and their families to create a plan that supports their goals. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, playing the piano, and spending time with my family.
