About me

  • Division Chief, Epilepsy
  • Associate Director, Center for Neuroengineering and Therapeutics
  • Director, Penn Epilepsy Center
  • Associate Professor of Neurology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania

I have expertise in epilepsy, epilepsy neuroimaging, electroencephalography (EEG), and the presurgical evaluation of epilepsy patients. I am the Director of the Penn Epilepsy Center.  In addition, I serve as medical director of Penn's Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and Epilepsy Surgical Program. In addition, my research lab focuses on advancing the fields of invasive neurophysiology and neuroimaging to better localize epileptic networks in medication refractory epilepsy patients. It is my hope that improving localization will enable epileptologists to better assign individual patients to the most efficacious therapy, for example, seizure control devices, resective surgery, or continued medical management.

dr. davis is outstanding. she treats both her patients and their parents with unmatched respect and compassion. she truly listens and takes the time to discuss not only medical concerns but also the emotional aspects of care. her thoughtful and attentive approach makes families feel heard, supported, and confident in the care they receive.
