Dr Wilfong is amazing. HE is a pediatric epileptologist, meaning he only

works with kids with seizure disorders. He is an expert in the field and

people come from all over the world to see him. HE is part of the Bluebird

Clinic in Houston. Just google his name to get the number. You are lucky

because you are in Houston. I would drive anywhere for his expertise.

Good Luck

Can anyone recommend a Houston pediatric neurologist who is somewhat

open-minded? I just need someone to help me with my son's absence seizures

and

figure out what is going on. Thanks.

I love Dr. -- he is with Pediatric Neurology Associates in

Houston. He is in practice with Dr. Zeller. I hear good things about him but

have never used him.

Dr. returns calls and if I present some facts and research regarding

tests, meds, I want to try for my son - he is usually very accommodating.

He's way cute too....

Sincerely,

Guppy

Hi ,

Could you please elaborate on why you consider your doctor open-minded?

He has an autistic child himself, who is older, and he understands the day-to

day life we all lead better than most docs! He did not do all the new biomed

interventions that we are trying, but he is not condescending, he is patient,

and he is easy to talk to. Does this help?

Two thumbs DOWN to Dr. Zeller (who works with ). Not only did

he misdiagnose my daughter, he told me I was over-concerned and

neurotic for thinking there was something wrong with the fact that

she was talking and pointing and then regressed and lost all

communication and receptive language. This was before I myself had

figured out the vacc = regression issue. I could write a book about

that day, but I'll spare ya'll.

I posted before but I must tell you again that if your main concern is to

get your child's seizures under control, the best choice is Dr. Wilfong.

He is the specialist. He may come across arrogant but so what, he has a

right to be. He is the best. I am an RN so I am writing as a parent as

well as a medical professional. Good Luck

I think we all have had a good experience with someone that someone else has

experienced a bad one. The same is true of having a bad one/ one someone loved.

I must say that my son is almost 10. We have been going to Zeller for MANY

years. Our family absolutely LOVES him. He has been the ONLY medical doctor my

son has related to..so much so that we have actually videotaped his visits for

years to PROVE to others that he could relate to others, that he had more speech

than the public schools saw, that he knew his colors, shapes and left and right

etc... All I am saying is that we must all respectfully take the opinions of

others and then do our own research and as with most of our children, it is hit

and miss with many practioners. We, too have had to deal with misdiagnosis and a

very nice pedi who did not and still doesn't have a clue about autism... at all!

If I didn't follow my gut, we'd still be waiting for our son to catch up...sad

but true! Best of Luck finding a

neuro you feel comfortable using.

I have gotten good reviews from Dr. Zeller from parents not on this list, though

no personal experience.

We did see Dr. Wilfong, however. We spent a lot of time with a resident at

the clinic, and had a brief consultation with Dr. Wilfong. He is a highly

competent epileptologist, to be sure, though I don't see him as an " open-minded "

neurologist who would spend a lot of personal time with any particular patient.

We went in for two EEGs (one sleep deprived and one 23 hour) and an MRI to rule

out epilepsy. We ruled it out, and that was it.
