GET CARE
EPILEPSY FOUNDATION TEXAS
Our Clinics
EFTX clinics provide support for individuals and families affected by epilepsy by offering education, care navigation, and connections to medical and community resources. We help people make sense of next steps following a seizure or diagnosis, with services focused on supporting individuals and families facing financial or access barriers.
​
The Epilepsy Foundation Texas Clinic Team, under Dr. Razi Rashid, MD, MPH, offers specialized epilepsy medical treatment and medication management at our epilepsy clinics throughout the EFTX service area.
​
Our goal is simple: To ensure that all Texans with epilepsy have access to safe, quality, and timely medical care to treat their seizures.​​​​
Texans in Need
In Texas, many individuals and families face conditions that can increase epilepsy risk and make managing the condition more difficult. Insufficient sleep, extreme heat, and economic and social barriers all contribute to health disparities—highlighting the critical need for accessible epilepsy care and support across the state.
​
These challenges are reflected in the data below and help explain why access to epilepsy education, care, and community support remains so critical across Texas.
