About

The Epilepsy Institute of New Jersey is a pediatric epilepsy surgery center led by Dr. Luke Tomycz that specializes in treating drug-resistant epilepsy and seizures that are not controlled by medication. The institute serves children and families dealing with epilepsy and related neurological conditions, providing specialized surgical and medical interventions when medication alone proves insufficient.

The institute operates as a multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons and neurologists who emphasize personalized care and partnership with families. Rather than treating patients as cases, the center positions itself as a "medical home" where patients and their families are heard, supported, and known throughout their treatment journey. The team works collaboratively to determine appropriate treatment options, including surgical procedures when indicated, for patients whose seizures have not responded to medical management alone.

Services and conditions treated include:

• Temporal lobectomy
• Hemispherotomy
• Posterior quadrant disconnection
• Craniotomy for tumor removal
• Treatment of arachnoid cysts
• Arteriovenous malformation management
• Cavernoma treatment
• Brain tumor surgery
• Chiari malformation surgery
• Congenital malformations of the brain and spine
• Craniofacial disorder treatment
• Seizure management for autism spectrum disorder
• Doose syndrome treatment
• Dravet syndrome treatment
