Pediatric Epilepsy Care in Columbia, MO​

​

At Quantum Pediatric Neurology, we understand how overwhelming it can be for families to navigate the uncertainty of epilepsy in children. Led by Dr. Ibrahim Binalsheikh, MD (aka Dr. B)—a board-certified pediatric neurologist with specialized credentials from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology—our clinic is committed to compassionate, state-of-the-art care tailored to each child’s unique needs.

We specialize in diagnosing and treating pediatric epilepsy and seizures in patients ranging from infants to college aged, young adults, providing both clinical excellence and emotional support for the entire family.

​

What Is Pediatric Epilepsy?

Pediatric epilepsy is a neurological condition marked by recurring seizures, caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It affects nearly 470,000 children in the U.S., making it one of the most common childhood neurological disorders.

Seizures can look different from child to child, and some may outgrow their condition while others require lifelong management. Early diagnosis and expert care are critical to achieving seizure control and maintaining your child’s quality of life.

​

How Quantum Pediatric Neurology Diagnoses Epilepsy?

Dr. B takes a thorough and compassionate approach to diagnosing epilepsy. This process includes a detailed medical history, evaluation of seizure patterns, and access to advanced diagnostic testing—all under one roof.

Our diagnostic process may include:

• Electroencephalogram (EEG): We offer in-office EEGs to detect abnormal brain activity—helping us avoid unnecessary hospital admissions.

• At-Home 24-Hour EEG Monitoring: For deeper insights, we provide convenient at-home EEG testing, making it easier on families and more cost-effective than inpatient stays.

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI scans allow Dr. B to examine detailed images of the brain and assess for any structural causes of epilepsy.

• Blood Work and Genetic Testing: These are used to rule out underlying conditions or to monitor treatment response.

​

Dr. B may also review family video footage of seizures, collect eyewitness accounts, and consult with additional pediatric specialists if needed.

​

Treating Pediatric Epilepsy with Compassion and Innovation

Our goal is to help children live seizure-free, healthy lives—while minimizing the impact on their development, education, and emotional wellbeing. That’s why Dr. B creates customized treatment plans for every patient.

We offer:

• Evidence-based medication plans tailored by age, weight, and seizure type.

• Ongoing monitoring to ensure optimal dosing and minimal side effects.

• Evening virtual visits from 5PM–9PM, making it easier for families to access care without missing work or school.

• Consultations for advanced treatment options when medications are not effective.

If your child’s seizures are resistant to medications, Dr. B can coordinate referrals for surgical evaluations, and help families navigate complex care decisions with clarity and confidence.
