Professor In Residence and Director of the Epilepsy Surgery Program. Dr. Fried’s research and clinical work is dedicated to the treatment of intractable seizure disorders and epilepsy. He has performed more than 1,000 surgeries on patients with epilepsy, with many patients living seizure-free today. His precision in tailoring an individual approach to each surgery is why patients travel from around the world to UCLA. Dr. Fried uses a surgical protocol that was developed by his predecessor, Paul Crandall, MD, and Dr. Engel.
