Thanks @royanthony !
This confirms my feeling and personal experience so far that neurologists with specialization in epilepsy or epileptologists can make a lot of difference in our epilepsy journey.
You've been truly blessed with both your GP and neurologist - I'm so happy for you! 😊 Experienced doctors like yours usually have excellent networks and can guide you toward colleagues who share their patient-centered approach to care. Try not to worry too much about finding a replacement.
My family had a wonderful GP in the past, but sadly he passed away while I was still a teenager, and we never quite found an adequate replacement. GPs here in Brazil have become rare, which sometimes drives me crazy - constantly going from one specialist to another without that central coordination.
@jakedduck1, you've had such a long journey with epilepsy, and I understand you've been treated by various doctors over the decades. From your experience, have you noticed a significant difference in treatment quality and care when working with a neurologist with specialization in epilepsy or an epileptologist versus general neurologists?
I'd love to hear from other members what their experiences have been in this regard.
