As a pediatric epileptologist, I specialize in treating patients with complex, often difficult-to-control, epilepsy. One of my fantastic mentors\u2019 mantras is \u201cI never give up,\u201d and I have adopted that approach. I will work systematically and thoroughly to review your child\u2019s history and develop a treatment plan that is collaborative and tailored to your child\u2019s and your family\u2019s needs. The best part of my job is seeing a patient in the clinic who is seizure-free and living a full life. In my time off, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter Zoe. As recent transplants from California, we like to explore new hikes and try new restaurants and are always looking for recommendations! \u00a1Hablo espa\u00f1ol tambi\u00e9n!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22594,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"ud_division":[209,212,307],"class_list":["post-17953","ud_entry","type-ud_entry","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ud_division-child-neurology","ud_division-epilepsy","ud_division-tuberous-sclerosis-complex","odd"],"acf":[],"ud_entry_custom_fields":{"ud_last_name":"Yang","ud_first_name":"Qian-Zhou","ud_gallery_summary":"","ud_telephone":[{"ud_location":"Office","ud_number":"9849747337"}],"ud_email":"jojoyang@neurology.unc.edu","ud_positions":[{"ud_title":"Associate Professor of Neurology"},{"ud_title":"Division Chief, Child Neurology"},{"ud_title":"Director, Inpatient Pediatric Neurology Services"},{"ud_title":"Medical Director, Pediatric Epilepsy Monitoring Unit"}],"ud_options":[],"ud_sort_order":""},"featured_image":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/neurology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/716\/2023\/12\/JojoYang-2026-scaled.jpg","featured_image_medium":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/neurology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/716\/2023\/12\/JojoYang-2026-200x300.jpg","featured_image_medium_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/neurology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/716\/2023\/12\/JojoYang-2026-768x1152.jpg","featured_image_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/neurology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/716\/2023\/12\/JojoYang-2026-683x1024.jpg","featured_image_thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/neurology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/716\/2023\/12\/JojoYang-2026-150x150.jpg","yoast_head":"\nQian-Zhou (JoJo) Yang, MD | Department of Neurology<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/neurology\/people\/qian-zhou-jojo-yang-md\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Qian-Zhou (JoJo) Yang, MD | Department of Neurology\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As a pediatric epileptologist, I specialize in treating patients with complex, often difficult-to-control, epilepsy.
