He subsequently undertook two years of advanced fellowship training in epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia from 2016 to 2018.
From 2018 to 2023, Dr. Barot served in the Epilepsy Division at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). During his tenure at UPMC, he directed the Epilepsy Surgery Program and led the Global Health Neurology Program for the department’s residency program, advancing specialized epilepsy management and international neurology education.

Medical Services
Dr. Barot currently works both in the Epilepsy Clinic and Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (Inpatient Video EEG monitoring) at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston. He provides advanced medical treatment and neuromodulation (RNS – Responsive Neurostimulation and VNS – Vagus Nerve Stimulator) based treatment for epilepsy patients. He works closely with the Neurosurgery department to determine the seizure onset zone with the use of Stereotactic intracranial EEG (SEEG) in patients with medically refractory epilepsy. He also works in continuous EEG service primarily dedicated to critical care patients in Neuro ICUs.
Epilepsy Diagnosis
We use advanced 3 Tesla Epilepsy Protocol Magnetic Resonance Imaging and video electroencephalography (EEG) studies for a comprehensive investigation and diagnosis of seizures and related conditions.
Epilepsy Management
We provide state-of-the-art treatment for medically resistant epilepsy and seizures. This treatment includes laser ablation, neurostimulation devices like RNS (Responsive Neurostimulation) and VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulation), and newly available laser ablation for epileptic lesions, which is performed by our neurosurgery colleagues.
