All patients and caregivers should have confidence in the care that they or their loved ones are receiving. If you see a family doctor, and you are continuing to have seizures, you should ask for another opinion after three months. If you are seeing a neurologist, and the seizures have not been brought under control after 9 to 12 months, then you should ask for a referral to a specialized epilepsy center. If you are being treated by an epilepsy center, you can also seek a second opinion at another epilepsy center if you have questions about the care that you are receiving.
