Dr. Currier wants to help her patients and their families in more areas of life than just epilepsy care. “Epilepsy is a journey that I have had the privilege to walk with my pediatric and adolescent patients and their families. Not only do I strive towards a goal of improving seizures, but also work to improve quality of life through general wellness, developmental progression, and academic success with a multidisciplinary approach to care.”

Dr. Currier is well published for her participation in several clinical trials and studies. Many of the studies she has been involved in focused on seizure prevention, antiepileptic drugs, and adjunctive therapy options.
