Lookin' for new Dr.


I just moved from up-state South Carolina to Maryville, Tn. thats about 40 miles belowe Knoxville. I was Seeing Dr. Bell at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in N.C. Now thats still within driving range, but dr. Bell has gotten to the point with me to were all he can do is write prescriptions and control my seizures with medication. And things are going ok right now.
But after Aug.2005 when I had a partial right temporal lobectomy at Duke University that only cut my seizures in half , which was realy good, I'm still lookin' for more seizure control. My seizures went from 4-5 a week down to 2 a week, and maybee every month and half I'll have a bad break out of seizurs of 5 to 6 in a week with all the blured & double vision and being unstable after the seizures.
So if anyone can recomend a good university to go to with a good Nuero staff please chime in.
Thanks,
Duke
