Is an epileptologist a neurologist who specializes in epilepsy or is that a whole separate category of doctor? She is going to see the Department Chair of Epilepsy in Rochester who is a neurologist.

Hi Heather,
An epileptologist is a type of neurologist who has undergone additional training specifically focused on epilepsy and seizure disorders. This specialization allows them to provide expert care for patients with epilepsy, including advanced treatment options and management strategies for those whose seizures are difficult to control. I myself have seen a great difference between the treatment I have received from neurologists versus epileptologists. To me, it seems that epileptologists have a much more individualized approach, customizing the treatment and going deeper into the patient's epilepsy and situation.
