Specialized Care for Children With Neurological Conditions
Children experience neurological disorders differently from adults. Symptoms may be subtle or easily mistaken for behavioral issues or developmental delays. At Georgia Epilepsy & Neurology Institute, we specialize in understanding how neurological conditions affect growing brains and bodies. Our team provides gentle testing and evidence-based treatment for conditions ranging from epilepsy to migraines and movement disorders.
Led by Dr. Ki Hyeong Lee, MD and Dr. Joo Hee Seo, MD, our Johns Creek practice is a trusted resource for families throughout North Atlanta.

Diagnostic Approach
Our evaluation begins with a detailed history and neurological exam, followed by testing such as EEG, MRI, or lab analysis. We coordinate with pediatricians, schools, and therapists to provide a 360-degree view of your child’s health. We focus on accuracy, comfort, and clear communication throughout the process.
Treatment and Ongoing Care
Treatment plans may include medication management, therapy referrals, dietary recommendations, and safety planning. Families receive detailed instructions on daily management and regular follow-ups to monitor progress. Our mission is to help children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
