Dr. Esther Bui
Dr. Esther Bui has worked as a neurologist and epilepsy specialist focusing on women's neurological health since 2012. She is an assistant professor and clinician educator within the Division of Neurology, Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto. Dr. Bui's pregnancy and epilepsy clinic is dedicated to fertility, pre-conception counselling, pregnancy and postpartum care for women with epilepsy. As well, the women's epilepsy program has expanded to explore how menses, ageing, perimenopause and menopause can impact a woman's epilepsy. In 2015 Dr. Bui created an advanced training program for resident physicians to learn more about Women's Issues in Neurology. Physicians across Canada as well as the US and Europe come to learn Women's Neurology. In 2017, Dr. Bui founded Canada's first and only accredited Women's Neurology Fellowship at the University of Toronto. She is currently the co-Director of the Women's Neurology Fellowship Program and the Director of the Epilepsy Fellowship program. She has published 30+ scientific papers, a clinical handbook, "Women with Epilepsy: A Practical Management Handbook", and a children's book "Lost and Found: A Bunny's Story". Her children's book, inspired by the 900+ moms and babies graduates of the epilepsy & pregnancy clinic, was written to empower parents facing illness to create an authentic narrative of their lived experiences for their children.
