I am a pediatric neurologist and have special interests in tuberous sclerosis, pediatric headaches and general pediatric neurology. Early in my education, I was privileged to work with outstanding child neurologists sharing their love and enthusiasm for this specialty. It is essential not only to connect with the little toddler or adolescent but also the family to arrive at the right diagnosis and therapy. Listening to their story, understanding their needs, building the important partnership with the family and at the end getting a smile from a patient are most rewarding and satisfying. Besides work I love classical music, exercise and spend time with my family. Dr. Georg is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Cortical Dysplasia. His top areas of expertise are Tuberous Sclerosis, Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, West Syndrome, and Primary Lateral Sclerosis.
