Dr. Segal is the Director of Pediatric Epilepsy at the Northeast Regional Epilepsy Group and is the co-Director of Epileptology at Hackensack Meridian Health. He has dedicated his life to helping children with epilepsy (and their families) through his medical knowledge, his research activities, and his community participation. Currently, he is on the Board of the Family Resource Network and the Northeast New York Epilepsy Foundation. His main research interests are in metabolic epilepsy and epilepsy surgery, and he regularly publishes in peer-reviewed journals on cutting edge epilepsy treatments (see below: Our epilepsy and seizures community including our patients, family, friends and doctors has been busy!).  But his dedication does not stop at the hospital and lab, in the past he ran and rode his bike for epilepsy (55 miles on the Twin Lights Ride) raising funds for Epilepsy Free and Epilepsy Services of New Jersey. For all these reasons, Dr. Segal is our March 2022 Epilepsy Star!
