Christopher Todd Anderson, MD

Christopher Todd Anderson, MD, serves as the Director of Epilepsy Monitoring for Intent Medical Group at the Endeavor Health Advanced Neurosciences Center. He specializes in seizures, epilepsy, and related medical problems. Originally from New York City, he did most of his training at Columbia University. He was a fellow and junior faculty at Stanford University, was on the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania for 5 years, and then faculty at the Medical College of Wisconsin for 10 years. He is currently the Director of the Epilepsy and Seizure Division in the Department of Neurology.

He recommends multi-modality treatment for seizure patients; medication, lifestyle changes, diets, hormonal therapy, devices for epilepsy, and, when appropriate, brain surgery.

He states, “I am here to educate patients and families, share my experiences, give my personal opinions, and make patients aware of what options are available. Ultimately, the patient and family are in charge of directing their care plan and setting goals specific to their individual medical and social situations and other personal preferences. At the end of the day, the patient is in charge.”
