About Me

If your child had a seizure, you’d think the child is dying. It’s a very emotional, wrenching time so education is very important. A lot of the times, it’s just teaching the parents and the loved ones that things can be ok.

A Patient at Rush - May 2024
Excellent experience. I'm a new patient so I thought I would have to tell him every detail of my history but he already read the background reports. He came well prepared so the time we had together was very productive and informative! Me and my parents learned more from this one visit then we have in the past 10 year with our pediatric Neurologist. I left feeling really good and feel confident of the plan in place.
