I have been trying to get my daughter into the Pediatric Mayo clinic in Rochester.  I have heard that it is the best.  I faxed over my info, but so far nothing back.  We too will go anywhere and do anything!  I have not switched Neuro's yet, but will probably have to.  I am affraid to switch and start all over again, but we are getting nowhere.  My daughter has a seizure every 15 minutes, when awake and asleep.  I thought that the Zonisamide was working because we did not have any big seizures, but the test show that they are still there.  Currently she is having more fruquent absence and the higher the dosage the more we see.  You can contact me directly at mlbc3@cox.net.  Good luck,

Laure.  : )

My pediatric neurologist was Daniel Alder, in New Jersey... I don't know if he's taking any new clients though.
