Neurologist or Epileptologist — Who is Best for YOU?
24 Comments
Do you have a neurologist? Or is your epilepsy followed by your primary care physician? Should you see an epileptologist?
There is no strict definition of what an epileptologist is. (Although the term was first made popular by William Spratling, now regarded as North America’s first epileptologist.)
Generally speaking, an epileptologist is a neurologist who has a specific interest in, and focuses on, epilepsy.
