Dr. Frederick Andermann Obituary

Dr. Frederick Andermann a longtime member and Associate of our Division of Pediatric Neurology in the Department of Pediatrics passed away on Sunday, June 16, 2019.

Dr. Andermann was a legend in epilepsy with a stellar international reputation. He contributed much to our present understanding of this pleiotropic disorder excelling in recognizing novel clinical phenotypes, applying diagnostic techniques such as electrophysiology, imaging or molecular genetics, advancing medical management, and carefully selecting patients for advanced surgical intervention. A member of the Order of Canada, there honestly is not an honor or award in neurology that Fred did not receive in his lifetime. He was also responsible for training legions of neurologists and epileptologists from around the globe. A note raconteur who never forgot a name or face, Fred will be missed by all who knew him.
