I agree w/ AmyQ. A second opinion (especially in your situation) is a very good idea and it sounds like your pedi. would be a good source.
Don't be afraid to ask questions of your doctors, either. Do some research and be armed with information. Be your own best advocate! Good luck.

Did the neurologist do an eeg? Just curious... If you are not confident in the neurologist that you are seeing, you should talk to your pediatrician about going to a different one. A second opinion is always a good thing! - AmyQ
