Does anyone have a particular physician to recommend at NYU' s Epilepsy Center? I am looking for a second opinion with a neurologist, for a discussion about surgery.

Dr. Orrin Devinsky, I am a patient of his. Definitely recommended. I also had surgery for a brain tumor, and Dr. Paul Huang performed it. I also recommend him. I've been to a lot of doctors before I came to NYU and they have great support for epilepsy patients.

I had surgery there with Dr. Doyle.  My epi was Dr. Devinsky.  I'm seizure-free since surgery, which was in 2005.  I ad szs for 36 years prior.   Dr. Doyle is the one to see for surgery.  If you have questions, feel free to add @yahoo.com to my user name and send me an e-mail with any questions you may have.

I am also a patient of Dr. Devinsky and I highly recommend him & the  team of doctors at the epilepsy center. The entire group of epileptologists at NYU are sincerely involved in the care of their patients and I feel quite fortunate that I live relatively closeby.
