Bio

Dr. Shifteh Sattar is the medical director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center and the EEG laboratory at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego. In addition to her role as a health professional at the epilepsy center and the EEG lab, she is also an associate clinical professor of neurosciences and pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine. Dr. Sattar is triple board certified in pediatrics, neurology with special qualifications in child neurology, and epilepsy.

Before her current position providing EEG services, Dr. Sattar came to Rady Children's from Miami Children's Hospital, where she was trained in surgical approaches for the treatment of epilepsy.

As a health professional the medical director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center and the EEG laboratory Aat Rady Children's, Dr. Sattar has built a comprehensive epilepsy surgery program that provides EEG services, with the goal of improving patients' quality of life. Her interest is in identifying epilepsy surgery candidates and tailoring the best surgical treatment option with the consideration of minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures such as the use of robotic stereotactic assistance for implantation of electrodes and laser ablation therapy. Epilepsy surgery after being diagnosed at the EEG lab is a potential option for patients with intractable epilepsy to help reduce or eliminate seizures and Dr. Sattar has dedicated her career to help achieve this for children with epilepsy.
