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!
