Hello
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. It must be difficult as a parent to see a child suffer, surgey will help and will take care of seizures. For your information, many of the world’s top pediatric hospitals are located in the United States. According to various survey's carried out in the public interest, Dr.Benjamin S. Carson, M.D., one of the world's foremost pediatric neurosurgeons, is professor and chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University Medical School is known to be the best. Ben Carson revolutionized his field in several areas, including hemispherectomies (removal of half of the brain to prevent untreatable severe seizures, such as those caused by Rasmussen's encephalitis). He dramatically increased the safety of the procedure by developing several major surgical innovations, which include better ways of controlling bleeding and infection, as well as an innovative system of incrementally removing specific brain parts as units rather than in whole sections.
Does not matter which part of world the surgeon is from, he will put all his effort in the best interest of patient. At the end of the day all the treating doctor's have same goal, to treat the patient with care.
