Trevor J. Resnick, MD
Medical Director, Epilepsy and Neurophysiology Program

Dr. Trevor J. Resnick is a pediatric neurologist and serves as medical director of the Epilepsy and Neurophysiology Program with the Department of Neurology, part of the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Brain Institute. In his role as medical director, Dr. Resnick is responsible for setting the strategy, as well as overseeing all clinical care, quality metrics, teaching, research and fiscal planning for the Epilepsy and Neurophysiology Program. He also acts as a clinical professor of Neurology at Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine/Florida International University in Miami.

Dr. Resnick earned his medical degree from the University of Cape Town Faculty of Health Sciences in South Africa. He completed a residency in pediatrics at the University of Connecticut Medical Center/UConn Health in Farmington. He pursued a fellowship in neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York. Dr. Resnick then furthered his training with a fellowship in electrophysiology at the same institution. His clinical interests include epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Dr. Resnick has been part of the Nicklaus Children’s Medical Staff since 1985 and previously served as chief of the Department of Neurology, chairman of the Quality Improvement Committee, chairman of the Pharmacy Committee and participated on the Board of Trustees.

Dr. Resnick is board certified in general pediatrics and child neurology. He is a member of the American Epilepsy Society and American Academy of Neurology. Dr. Resnick has authored numerous scientific publications and edited books and journal supplements. He is a member of editorial boards of pediatric and neurology journals and lectures widely in North America. His research interests have focused on the neurodevelopmental correlates of chronic epilepsy and the use of neurodiagnostic techniques for seizure localization and semiology.

Dr. Resnick is employed by Nicklaus Children’s Pediatric Specialists (NCPS), the multispecialty medical group practice of Nicklaus Children’s Health System.

The Brain Institute at Nicklaus Children’s was the first clinical pediatric neuroscience program in the world focused on cortical resection in children with uncontrolled seizures. Our pediatric neurology/neurosurgery program is ranked 21 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report’s Best Children’s Hospital’s rankings (2023-24) and is the top-ranked program in the state of Florida. The institute is recognized for excellence in treatment for children with a full spectrum of brain disorders, including brain tumors, intractable epilepsy, brain injuries and other anomalies. Ranked as the top pediatric neurology and neurosurgery program in the southeast United States, Nicklaus Children’s Brain Institute balances safety and efficacy to achieve the best possible quality of life for children with a neurological condition. The Brain Institute receives referrals of complex cases from throughout the U.S. and around the world. Many of its greatest successes involve children who could not be helped by other programs and were referred for the cutting-edge care and research protocols for which the Brain Institute is renowned.
