I can't recommend a NY Nuerologist but I was curious how old your son is? My son is tenth months with siezures and developmental delays.

Post Hi there!


I'm sorry I can't, I'm in Indiana. Try checking the following link:

http://www.naec-epilepsy.org/

Hopefully, it should be of some help. Also, have you tried checking through the Epilepsy foundation website? Here's the link to help find a doctor there:

Hope that helps some.....

Well there are some good Neurologists in NY. But the only one I can recommend is my former
Neurologist Dr. Samuel Koszer. IMHO he is a great Dr. Dr. Koszer will explain everything to in plain english. None of that technical babble.

Don't let the fact I said "former" Neurologist foul you. The only reason I don't go to him anymore is because he moved too farway for me to get to. He is now located in Poughkeepsie, NY. I do have some more info. about his practice location & telephone # I will PM to you. IMHO is every Neurologist helped their patients as much as Dr. Koszer, we'd all be seizure free sooner than later.

This might help


Here's is a list where you just have to type in the name of the town or the zip code of the area you're looking for. It doesn't say who's good or bad but you can research them after.

Found this where you can rate or check the ratings of a neurologist. guess I shouldn't have posted that last post so quickly.

Not sure where in upstate NY you are but I am near Ithaca. I've been seeing Dr. Montagne in Ithaca. So far I like him. He listens patiently and responds clearly. I'm comfortable working with him. I'v only had epilepsy since the fall 07.
