I'd find a doc that would support the Ketogenic Diet
If it was my daughter and if there was any way to go to a neuro that would support the Ketogenic Diet I would switch neuros. It would not be safe to try to attempt this diet without the support of a neurologist and dietitian. From what I've read the Ketogenic Diet has the best chance of helping your daughter.
Also remember that most AEDs negatively impact cognition and years 0-3 are critical development years for your daughter's brain. Having said that, my daughter has been on AEDs since she turned 1 and she's fine developmentally, but that's after a lot of trial, error and negative side effects. If I had it to do over again I would have started the Ketogenic Diet right away. As it is we're preparing to start the LGIT (a form of the Ketogenic Diet) so that we can hopefully lower her meds more.
I pray that you'll find the best treatment for your daughter.
