We've been patients of Dr. for 13 years. CHLA is part of USC

. We do the diet through the dietician staff @ Children's.

wow. nice to finally meet someone that goes to the same doc. shes great!

voted the best neuro in america! so i take it you are satisfied with the team?

just want to make sure i do it right the first time. any advice? how long did it

take you to get in? jaime

Dr. is very supportive of the ketogenic diet. It may take awhile

for you to get Maddux in as the keto dietician is currently on maternity leave.

We did not have a hospitalization this time around...as it is our third time

on the diet. Also, Skyler had already undergone very comprehensive metabolic

testing to ensure the diet wasn't contraindicated. Have you made an appt.

w/the neuro-opthamologist there? We saw Mark Borchert

and

really liked him. (If Maddux has something metabolic/genetic going on...keep

in mind she might not be keto material).

I adore Dr. ...we travel from San Diego to see her...have for nearly

14 years!

i am actually seeing dr borchert on wednesday. is there something more i

should get him to do while i am there. i will talk to dr mitchell on monday

about

the diet. shes been trying to get me to try it but we have been on the fence

about moving and i wanted to make sure id be here to do it right. and now we

will be. thanks for the heads up on borchert. jaime

Good luck w/Borchert. I'm sure you will like him. He and Dr. work

very well together and I'm sure whatever he does will be to 'rule out' other

causes of Maddux' seizures.

If you talk to Dr. on Monday...do tell her we've 'met.'
