I went to New York University hospital for neurology services. I went there
to see Dr. Orrin Devinsky. I liked the Dr. but I was sent to his associate
Dr. Geller in New Jersey since this is where I live. I was put in St.
Barnabas in Livingston for tests. It turned out to be a bad experience. I
was in for a week on the eeg but I didn't have any seizures. The Dr. told me
I am abused and this is why I think I have seizures. Then he reported me to
motor vehicle and I lost my license again. After all that it turned out he
didn't take my insurance and I had a $13,000 bill. I've had other eeg's that
showed I had seizures. I just didn't have any for this Dr. He made all these
promises to cure me. I never went back to NY or Dr. Geller. I just see a
small town Dr. now. While I was being tested I had a neuropsycologist do
tests on me to see how my memory was and IQ. I never got any results though.

As Kris did, I flew to NYU also to see Dr. Devinsky and It was my 4th
E-research center only for him to tell me Honestly, "Your 2 steps ahead
of medicine and I can't help you in your findings" I respected his
honesty as I heard from another great E-neuro stating to me. "We know
1/10 of 1% of the human brain and its' function" And he gave me an
answer.
Good Luck in whoever you see!
