Dawn S. Eliashiv, MD
Epilepsy
A Professor of Neurology and Co-Director of the UCLA Seizure Disorders Center, Dr. Eliashiv sees patients and conducts research. She was one of a few clinician-scientists studying the use of magnetoencephalography (MEG)—a neuroimaging technique for mapping brain activity—as a noninvasive tool to localize seizures in the brain, and was one of the first to capture seizures with MEG. Dr. Eliashiv is an author and co-author in numerous publications and lectures extensively nationally and internationally. She is also an investigator with NINDS and American Epilepsy Society funded research.

John Stern, MD
Epilepsy
Dr. Stern is a Professor in the Department of Neurology, Director of the Epilepsy Clinical Program, and Director of the Epilepsy Residency Training Program in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. His clinical activities encompass a full range of diagnostic and treatment modalities for seizures and epilepsy. Throughout his career, Dr. Stern’s research focus has been on the networks of the brain’s functional activity that produce the manifestations of seizures and epilepsy. His publications include numerous original research papers and reviews. He authored the book Atlas of EEG Patterns and served as co-editor for the book, Atlas of Video-EEG Monitoring. According to Dr. Stern’s studies, epilepsy as a whole is not one disease, but a term that encompasses many different conditions.
Dr. Ausaf Bari, MD, PhD
Neurological Surgery
Dr. Bari specializes in the neurosurgical repair and restoration of brain and nerve function. Following his neurosurgery residency training at UCLA, Dr. Bari was awarded the prestigious William P. Van Wagenen Fellowship to train at the world-renowned functional neurosurgery program at the University of Toronto. He has extensive clinical and research experience in the use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of both movement and psychiatric disorders. Dr. Bari's clinical practice includes DBS surgery for Parkinson's disease, tremor, dystonia, depression and OCD. In addition, his clinical practice includes neurosurgery for brain tumors, pain, and peripheral nerve disorders.
Dr. Itzhak Fried, MD, PhD
Neurological Surgery
Professor In Residence and Director of the Epilepsy Surgery Program. Dr. Fried’s research and clinical work is dedicated to the treatment of intractable seizure disorders and epilepsy. He has performed more than 1,000 surgeries on patients with epilepsy, with many patients living seizure-free today. His precision in tailoring an individual approach to each surgery is why patients travel from around the world to UCLA. Dr. Fried uses a surgical protocol that was developed by his predecessor, Paul Crandall, MD, and Dr. Engel.
