Jay Harvey, D.O.

Dr. Harvey’s expertise is in the clinical management of complicated epilepsy. Since graduating from his epilepsy fellowship program, he has sought positions that would reflect his training in the management of uncontrolled seizures.  At the end of his fellowship, Dr. Harvey accepted an academic appointment with an epilepsy program that included traditional therapies for epilepsy juxtaposed surgical intervention and clinical trials.

In 1997 Dr. Harvey joined a large multi-specialty neurology group in Dallas and assisted in developing epilepsy programs at 2 large well-recognized private hospitals. Those programs provided advance treatment options including medication research trials. Participation in industry sponsored clinical research trials has always been a part of Dr. Harvey’s practice. The trials have been integral in providing comprehensive options and care for those with uncontrolled seizures and Dr. Harvey has participated in more than 75 drug and device trials.

Dr. Harvey joined the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW), Department of Neurology, Epilepsy section in 2017. The epilepsy program at UTSW is certified at the highest level and provides all treatment modalities available for seizures. The comprehensive program encompasses clinical management, neuroimaging, neuropsychometric evaluations, nuclear medicine for epilepsy and neurosurgery for epilepsy. Available evaluations and therapies included invasive EEG monitoring, brain mapping, resective epilepsy surgery and implantable devices for epilepsy. As part of UT Southwestern’s broad network of providers that care for individuals with epilepsy of all types, Dr. Harvey is dedicated to comprehensive care and navigating options for all patients with seizures.
