Searching for an AMAZING pediatric neurologist in Sacramento area
Sun, 07/20/2014 - 22:21A little over a week ago my 4 yr old had a grand mal seizure in her sleep. At the er she had a blood, urine and CT, all came back clear. We followed up with our pediatrician the following Monday who referred us forward to a neurologist who did not contact us that week as we were told would. I called the pediatrian back and got the drs information, looked him up online and found to my dismay that the world of Google was littered with negative comments and reviews about this dr. I have always trusted my pediatrician in the past, but some of these reviews can't go ignored! I am in search of an amazing dr & am more than willing to travel within a reasonable distance (ie. Bay Area, central or Northern California)
please recommend your amazing pediatric neuro to this nervous and very protective mama!
Thank you!!!
Also sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, I'm new here!
Hi Mama You can find doctors

Hi Mama You can find doctors and epilepsy centers on this site. Go to the get help section and click on find a doctor. Once there you can find a doctor or a center that are known by EFA. It will require you to enter your state or go by zip code. I came here to find a way to note the seizures I was having and I found the diary which does more then what I wanted. I checked to see if Doc was oneassociated which I already knew. He was along with the Epilepsy Group so yes you can use this site to find doctors and centers and even pediatricians for kids with epilepsy. I hope this helps and you get the assistance you need for your child Joe
