Empowering Families Through Education and Support
Caring for a child with a neurological condition requires knowledge, patience, and a strong support network. At Georgia Epilepsy & Neurology Institute, we believe families should never feel alone in their journey. Our Johns Creek clinic offers comprehensive resources to help parents navigate diagnosis, treatment, school coordination, and emotional well-being.
Under the guidance of Dr. Ki Hyeong Lee, MD, and Dr. Joo Hee Seo, MD, our team connects families to the tools and community they need to thrive.
