Dr. William M. Mcclintock

William D. Gaillard, MD, professor of neurology and neurophysiology, is chief of the Divisions of Child Neurology and of Epilepsy and Neurophysiology. He is director of the Comprehensive Pediatric Epilepsy Program — one of the leading multidisciplinary pediatric epilepsy programs in the country. As associate director of the Children’s National Research Institute’s Center for Neuroscience Research, he is responsible for overseeing and organizing clinical neuroscience research. Dr. Gaillard is professor of pediatrics and neurology at the George Washington University School of Medicine; Professor of Neurology, Georgetown University; and Adjunct Professor of Hearing and Speech Sciences, University of Maryland, College Park. Additionally, Dr. Gaillard holds longstanding collaborations with the Clinical Epilepsy Section (CES), National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and NIH. His innovative research utilizes advanced structural and functional imaging to examine the effects of epilepsy on brain structure and function. His pioneering work with functional imaging has changed clinical practice for patients with epilepsy, made important technical contributions to structural and functional imaging methods, and provided fundamental scientific insights on the biology of brain plasticity. Ultimately, the goal of his research is to improve the outcomes and lives of children with epilepsy. Dr. Gaillard is a past president of the American Epilepsy Society. He is past treasurer of the American Epilepsy Society, past chair of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Commission on Diagnostics, past chair of the ILAE Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Task Force and past member of the Pediatric Commission. He is a past editor of Epilepsy Research and a past editor of Epilepsia. He is the author of more than 240 peer-reviewed scientific papers and more than 50 chapters and holds longstanding federal and foundation grant funding. Dr. Gaillard is highly rated in 21 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Epilepsy, Seizures, Epilepsy in Children, Liver Embolization, and Deep Brain Stimulation. Dr. Gaillard is board certified in Pediatrics: American Board Of Pediatrics, 2005, American Board Of Psychiatry And Neurology, and American Board Of Psychiatry And Neurology, 1992. Dr. Gaillard is currently accepting new patients.

John M. Schreiber, MD, FAES, is the Associate Chief of Epilepsy and EEG Operations, Medical Director of EEG and the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and the director of Epilepsy Genetics at Children's National Hospital. After earning his medical degree cum laude at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, he completed Pediatrics and Child Neurology training at Children’s National Hospital. Before returning in 2013, he served as an Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology Fellow at the National Institutes of Health, gaining experience in epilepsy clinical trials and in neurogenetic disorders. His primary clinical and research interests are on the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of genetically-mediated epilepsies, particularly channelopathies. Dr. Schreiber is the principal investigator at Children’s National for various epilepsy observational and interventional clinical trials with a focus on neurogenetic disorders. He serves on the Pediatric Epilepsy Research Consortium board, is the co-chair for the Investigators' Workshop Committee of the American Epilepsy Society, and serves on the Epilepsy Foundation Professional Advisory Board and several other advisory boards. Publications PUBMED. Dr. Schreiber is highly rated in 15 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Epilepsy, Myoclonic Epilepsy, Seizures, and Epilepsy with Myoclonic-Atonic Seizures. Dr. Schreiber is board certified in Epilepsy: American Board Of Psychiatry And Neurology, 2016, American Board Of Psychiatry And Neurology, 2011, and American Board Of Psychiatry And Neurology, 2013. Dr. Schreiber is currently accepting new patients.

Catherine Chu is the director of the Division of Pediatric Neurology and the John M. Freeman Pediatric Epilepsy Center in the Johns Hopkins Department of Neurology, as well as the vice president of child neurology at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. As a child neurologist, epileptologist and clinical neurophysiologist, Dr. Chu cares for children diagnosed with epilepsy and disorders of the nervous system (neurophysiology). She specializes in electroencephalogram (also known as EEG) analysis, seizure localization, surgical planning and neuromodulation for adult and pediatric patients with difficult to control epilepsy. She is nationally and internationally recognized for her work identifying causes of and treatment options for cognitive dysfunction and seizures in epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr. Chu’s team specializes in identifying and developing tools to detect and understand brain rhythms that support complex cognitive functions throughout development, including how these rhythms are disrupted by seizures and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr. Chu earned her medical degree and a master’s degree in social anthropology from Harvard University. She completed an internship in pediatrics at Massachusetts General Hospital, and then a residency in neurology and child neurology at Massachusetts General and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. After completing two fellowships at Massachusetts General, one in epilepsy and another in clinical neurophysiology, Dr. Chu earned a master’s degree in medical science, focused on clinical investigation, from Harvard Medical School. Dr. Chu is highly rated in 10 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Benign Rolandic Epilepsy, Epilepsy in Children, Seizures, Epilepsy, and Deep Brain Stimulation. Dr. Chu is board certified in American Board Of Psychiatry And Neurology. Dr. Chu is currently accepting new patients.
