Epilepsy Center
The Lenox Hill Comprehensive Epilepsy Center was established in 2004 by Dr. Steven V. Pacia. The center offers the latest diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients suffering from seizure disorders in new and comfortable surroundings on the premises of Lenox Hill Hospital.
We are interested not only in accurate diagnosis and prompt effective treatment, but also in improving quality of life for our patients.

Our Location
