Epilepsy Doctor and Hospital Recommendations

I hope you all had a very happy holiday season! May we all strive toward a healthy and seizure-free 2019.

One way to get there is to find the right doctor and hospital. Phylis Feiner Johnson posted two useful links on her blog Epilepsy Talk. One is a patient-recommended list of neurologists, epileptologists, neurosurgeons, and pediatric doctors. The other is a list put out by U.S. News and World Report of the best hospitals for neurology and neurosurgery. I hope they are useful to you!

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.

Stress and Seizures

Hello readers!  I apologize for having been away.  Being a perfectionist and a procrastinator sometimes doesn’t work well.  In this post, I will share a post by Phylis Feiner Johnson from her blog Epilepsy Talk entitled “Stress and Seizures.”  I think the way she writes about this topic explains the connection between the two very well.  I don’t think I could have done better.  Why reinvent the wheel if it has already been created?

Financial and Medical Resources for Epilepsy

Phylis Feiner Johnson has posted a very useful article on her blog Epilepsy Talk about financial and medical resources for people with epilepsy, entitled "Epilepsy--Top Financial and Medical Assistance Programs." providing a list of good websites.

One that I was impressed with was the Josh Provides.  This one provides financial aid to people with epilepsy who need help paying for transportation, medications, or seizure detection devices, among other things.
