Andrew Wilner M.D. Receiving American Academy of Neurology Award 2008

Dr. Wilner receives the American Academy of Neurology Journalism Fellowship Award from Stephen Sergay, MD, President of the American Academy of Neurology, Chicago, 2008.

Dr. Andrew Wilner is the author of two books on epilepsy; Epilepsy: 199 Answers and Epilepsy in Clinical Practice.

Epilepsy 199 Answers by Dr. Andrew Wilner, NeurologistEpilepsy: 199 Answers and Epilepsy in Clinical Practice.“Dr. Andrew Wilner has the experience and sympathetic approach necessary to calm fears and commence the process of adaptation to the alteration in the lifestyle mandated by a diagnosis of epilepsy. However, his is not a book only for patients and their relatives. It is one that should be read by all physicians, for not all physicians have given these problems as much thought as the book…” Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)

“...a very clear and concise reference book dealing with the many questions a person with epilepsy or a person who has an interest or a connection with epilepsy might want to ask…an essential up-to-date handbook on the subject of epilepsy.” Epilepsia

“...a helpful guide to the most common questions asked by patients with epilepsy. It will definitely help patients better understand the nature of their disease, the therapeutic options, prognosis, and benefits of medical progress… highly recommend[ed] for medical and public libraries, bookstores, physicians, and patients with seizure disorders.” Doody Review Services with seizure disorders.

"This volume (by Andrew Wilner, M.D.) organized into a question-and-answer format, is especially patient-friendly and patient-respectful, in that the questions are exactly phrased in an accessible patient-oriented vernacular...The liveliness and sense of patient involvement by the author are unique to this book and distinguishes it from other volumes. However, the question-and-answer format is what makes it really special." --Cynthia L. Harden, MD, Epilepsy and Behavior

Epilepsy in Clinical Practice by Andrew Wilner, M.D. - neurologist

Epilepsy in Clinical Practice: A Case Study Approach highlights dramatic diagnostic and therapeutic advances that impact upon the medical care of patients with epilepsy. Computerized imaging studies, new and improved medications, refined brain surgery techniques, increased experience with the ketogenic diet, and the Food and Drug Administration approval of the vagal nerve stimulator have elevated the state of the art. Medical decision making has correspondingly increased in complexity. This book lends clarity and confidence to the practical management of patients with seizures.
