For anyone in need of a neurologist... (original) (raw)

For anyone in need of a neurologist...

I seem to recall there was a question posed on this or the brain_injury forum by someone in need of a good neurologist specializing in epilepsy. I just now looked down and found Dr. Orrin Devinsky's card on my floor; he's regarded in some circles as the gold standard of epilepsy doctors, and I knew a woman who was really amazed I had ended up seeing him. I've even seen him on the evening news once when they needed to call in an expert for commentary. (I don't remember how I ended up being referred to him.)

He's still at NYU, right across the street from Rusk Institute. I just called the number, and I got the voicemail; he's still in the same office.

Who was it who originally asked for a recommendation?
