About

Ednea A Simon, MD

As a child neurologist at the Swedish Pediatric Neuroscience Center, I care for young patients with a wide variety of acute and chronic neurological disorders. My specialty is pediatric epilepsy and seizure disorders.

I love working with children. They are natural fighters and bring hope to everyone around them – medical staff, families, fellow patients. In my practice, I partner with parents and families to provide their kids with the tools they need to be the best they can be. Sometimes these tools include medications and other therapies. But, I believe the most important tools I offer are hope and love.

Dr. Ednea Simon should be avoided at all costs. Her knowledge is about 10 years obsolete in this field. We made the mistake of using her for two months before we found out about more current treatment options that were safer and more effective for treating infant seizures.

We spoke with other experts at Johns Hopkins. We also contacted pediatric neurologists in Portland Oregon and at Childrens Hospital in Seattle. All other experts agreed that Dr. Ednea Simon is not current in her knowledge of pediatric neurology. It is as if she stopped reading and learning about the latest treatment options about 10 years ago. There are other doctors in the area for treatment of infant seizures. Please look elsewhere.

Dr. Ednea Simon also has very below average communication skills. She should be avoided at all costs. Feel free to email me if you need a better recommendation for a pediatric neurologist to save your child from seizures.
