Dr. Tam provides care for patients with new-onset seizures as well as those with difficult-to-control epilepsy. She begins with a comprehensive, individualized evaluation and offers the most advanced treatment options, including the latest medications and devices such as vagus nerve stimulators, deep brain stimulators, and responsive neurostimulators. When a patient is a candidate for epilepsy surgery, she collaborates with a multidisciplinary team to ensure coordinated and expert care.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Tam has published in peer-reviewed journals and presented her research at the American Academy of Neurology’s annual meeting.
