About the Epilepsy Program Multidisciplinary Team

The Edward B. Bromfield Epilepsy Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) is named in memory of the nationally recognized neurologist-epileptologist Edward Barry Bromfield, MD, who founded the program in 1993, to offer the very latest comprehensive services available to patients with epilepsy. Starting in 2009, Dr. Barbara Dworetzky, MD, Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School, served as the Chief of the Division of Epilepsy, and has continued to fulfill Dr. Bromfield’s mission to improve the lives of those with epilepsy by offering patients leading-edge evaluation, diagnosis, care and education, inspired by the latest research and imaging technologies. In 2025, with the unification of the Department of Neurology with MGH, Sydney Cash, M.D., Ph.D. was named Chief of the Division of Epilepsy for MGB.
