Shifteh Sattar, M.D.

Bio

Dr. Shifteh Sattar is the medical director of epilepsy surgery at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and an associate clinical professor of neurosciences and pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine. She is triple board certified in pediatrics, neurology with special qualification in child neurology, and epilepsy.

Dr. Sattar came to Rady Children's from Miami Children's Hospital, where she was trained in surgical approaches for the treatment of epilepsy.

At Rady Children's, Dr. Sattar has built a comprehensive epilepsy surgery program, 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 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.
