Ravindra Arya, MD, DM

About Me

Biography

Dr. Ravindra Arya is a pediatric epilepsy specialist, with a specific interest in drug-resistant and other difficult to manage epilepsies. His clinic offers comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, approach to the evaluation and management of children with epilepsy. This includes consultations with other specialists (clinical psychologist, neuro-pharmacist, dietician, and social worker) during the clinic visit, and developing an optimal diagnostic and treatment plan including medications, dietary therapies, and consideration for epilepsy surgery, as appropriate for the individual patient with an objective to attain the best possible outcome.

In addition to clinical care, Dr. Arya is motivated towards bridging evidence gaps in patient care through his clinical and translational research interests. He is leading a study to develop and validate novel neurophysiological methods for language mapping in children undergoing evaluation with intracranial electrodes for epilepsy surgery. This work has the potential to extend the understanding of human brain language networks, and to improve the safety and access of epilepsy surgery in children. He is also involved in the analyses of epilepsy surgery outcomes to inform and improve patient care, use of telehealth platform to democratize epilepsy-related expertise, and a multi-center study on status epilepticus. In the past, he has been the principal investigator for two randomized clinical trials (NCT 00735527, and NCT 00781196), and an epidemiologic study of epilepsy in children with Down syndrome.
