A Practice Built for Lifespan Epilepsy Care, Advanced Diagnostics, and Compassionate Expertise
At Georgia Epilepsy & Neurology Institute, patients receive more than medical care — they receive a lifelong partnership grounded in expertise, innovation, and trust. Our practice is led by Dr. Ki Hyeong Lee and Dr. Joo Hee Seo, two highly trained epileptologists with deep experience across all facets of epilepsy care, including diagnostics, medication management, surgical evaluation, and access to pioneering clinical trials such as gene‑targeted therapies.
We proudly provide lifespan epilepsy care, serving infants, children, adolescents, and adults in one unified practice. Families no longer need to transition between pediatric and adult neurology clinics — our team provides seamless, continuous care at every stage of life.
Located in the heart of Johns Creek, Georgia, we serve patients from Alpharetta, Roswell, Duluth, and the greater North Georgia region in a modern, welcoming environment designed for comfort, clarity, and confidence.
Our Founding Vision
Dr. Ki Hyeong Lee established the Institute to bring world‑class epilepsy care closer to home. After years in academic and hospital‑based neurology, he recognized the need for a community center that combines:
