NEREG is quite a unique epilepsy program in that it is a multi-site practice in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut that offers unique services and comprehensive care to children and adults with epilepsy. All in all, NEREG has 9 outpatient offices in New York State extending all the way from Staten Island in the south to Middletown and Fishkill in the North.  It has seven outpatient offices in New Jersey ranging from Hackensack all the way to Plainsboro. And last but not least, NEREG opened an office several years ago in Stamford, CT to provide care for our neighboring state of CT. The philosophy has always been to take the medical team to the patients’ hometowns rather than expecting the patient to travel long distances to see the doctor.
