EDINBURG, Texas – In honor of Epilepsy Awareness Month, DHR Health would like to remind the community of it comprehensive Epilepsy Center, which is the first of its kind, south of San Antonio, serving patients of the Rio Grande Valley. The center was founded and developed from the ground up by Dr. Leonel Jorge Favio Estofan, Medical Director of the DHR Health Epilepsy Center.
The Epilepsy Center delivers the full continuum of epilepsy care which ranges from advanced diagnosis to surgical treatment, working in collaboration with the DHR Health Neuroscience Institute.
Most recently, Dr. Estofan led the development of the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU), continuous EEG services, and presurgical evaluations, transforming access to care in the region. Later, Dr. Juan Torres, neurosurgeon, joined to expand epilepsy surgery and neuromodulation, achieving milestones such as the first stereo-EEG guided epilepsy surgery and the first Wada test in South Texas. Together, they have positioned DHR Health as a regional leader in epilepsy care, bringing world-class treatment closer to home.
Their efforts were recently recognized by the Epilepsy Foundation Central and South Texas who wanted to bring more awareness of their epilepsy services. Dr. Estofan’s office is located at 2821 Michelangelo Drive, Suite 305 in Edinburg. For information, call his office at (956) 362-8500.
