Jim Baumgartner, MD

Surgical Director of the Comprehensive Pediatric Epilepsy Center

Specializing in minimally invasive and traditional surgery, Dr. Baumgartner is one of our leading experts on seizures, seizure-related conditions and epilepsy. As a board-certified pediatric neurosurgeon, he works in close collaboration with other members of our team to treat children and adolescents, reducing the frequency and severity of seizures and in many cases, eliminating them entirely.

Dr. Baumgartner is highly regarded in the field of pediatric neurosurgery and has established a legacy of successfully treating his young patients using the most recent advances and proven treatments in medicine, including surgeries that leave little to no scarring. This includes the use of state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical technologies such as the 3T MRI that allows the brain to be scanned in real time during surgery, increasing the accuracy of the procedures and producing more positive patient outcomes.

Dr. Baumgartner treats a wide range of disorders and conditions, including petit mal, grand mal, tonic, myoclonic, atonic and partial seizures.

After earning his medical degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, he served his surgery internship and neurosurgery residency at the University of California, San Francisco. He also completed his fellowship in pediatric neurosurgery there.
