Northwell Initiative to Cure Epilepsy (NICE) Gala 2020
Patient Testimonial: Dylan Isaacs
Dylan Isaacs was born and raised on the South Shore of Long Island. During his senior year of high school, he started having complex seizures and was eventually diagnosed with epilepsy. While studying to be a financial advisor in college, Dylan continued to manage his epilepsy with various treatment programs. Though he maintained a high GPA and an active social life, he lost his license to drive and knew he always needed to be in safe situations. Eventually, Dylan and his medical team decided that a temporal lobe brain surgery was the best course of action. A year after the surgery, Dylan is seizure free (and back to driving again)! Listen as Dylan shares his story and offers words of advice to others who taking a similar medical journey.
