As a Level IV Epilepsy Center, designated by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers, the Baylor Medicine Epilepsy Center provides the highest level of care to patients with epilepsy and other seizure disorders. The center offers comprehensive evaluation for those with epilepsy or those suspected of having seizures or epilepsy.

- Characterize, classify, and quantify seizures
- Control seizures through the use of antiepileptic drugs or, in special cases, surgery or implantation of stimulation devices
- Help patients, their families and friends, understand and overcome the social, economic, educational, and psychological problems that those with epilepsy may confront
