Would you recommend Rochester best Mayo Facility for Epilepsy?

<p>Looking for advice on Mayo Clinic treatment for my adult son who has epilepsy. He has had 4 grand mal seizures, all nocturnal. Currently controlled by Keppra, but still experiences confusion spells despite increasing the medication. Considering an appointment at Mayo since all EEG’s and and MRIs to date have come back negative. It seems that more intensive testing is conducted at Mayo to determine the source of the seizures. Any personal experience/recommendations appreciated.</p>

Hi @gsj18, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll notice that I moved your question to this existing discussion where @wls asked a similar question. I did this so you can connect with other members who receive epilepsy care at Mayo Clinic like @jenfossbru @boston2mayo. I'd also like to invite @dawn_giacabazi @patrassi @ahernandez and @jenfossbru to this discussion as they too have experience with Mayo Clinic and the Epilepsy and Seizure Clinic.

I think you'll also be interested in this discussion:

Gsj18, is this an increase in seizure activity for your son?
