Which Specialist Should Be Consulted For Epilepsy?

Hi I am looking for a GP with good knowledge of Epilepsy. Our Neurologist is an Epilepsy Speicialist but there are only 3 short appt's per year and the waiting time withing these clinics are approx 2hours. Any other support is only through a very busy and frightening Emergency Department at Fremantle Hospital, were we have waited for approx 6hours or sometimes into Day 2 and sent home without any support, as the seizures have stopped and told to carry on as usual. Finding regular supportive medical support has been impossible.

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

sorry about what you face

i would suggest you look for a md medicine doctor at least if the neurologist is unable to give you ample time.

it would be most necessary to have that done.

the idea is that a md medicine would be able to give you a better advice

meanwhile, if the seizures are under control, you need not worry too much

i do hope an mri brain has been done at least ince
and you do check for lft once in a while

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
