Patient Recommendations for Best Epilepsy Doctors

I am passing on Phylis Feiner Johnson’s invaluable blogpost about the top neurologists, epileptologists, neurosurgeons, and pediatric doctors, as recommended by patients. 

To add to the list, in Orange County, California, there a good number of doctors, including Jack Lin (University of California, Irvine) and David Millett (Hoag Hospital, Irvine).

Thank you so much to Phylis for sharing this! 

If you have any recommendations, please feel free to post them in the comments.
