Dr. Sahaya puts focus on helping patients achieve their highest quality of life, while also taking every opportunity to learn from his patients. “I am fascinated by how epilepsy and seizures offer a unique window into the inner functioning of the brain. I am constantly amazed and humbled by what my patients have to teach me while I help them understand and best manage their own health.”
