Who Here From Luzerne And Lackawanna County Travel To Philadelphia For A Neurologist?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Even though they are not child-centered, they Epilepsy-centered and worth taking a look at. Be blessed...

You have no idea how many people told me to go to CHOP,where we live. Not even funny, I lost count. I was so dishearted when she told me no, we're too far.

I cannot stand, Dr. Lilik anymore, if Dr. Taub didn't hear my plea last Thursday and helped us out my son would be seriously sick or in a psych ward cuz Lilik wouldn't listen to me about the Keppra

My 14 year old son has been seeing Dr Taub for 3 years and we LOVE her. He also sees a pychologist in CHOPs neuro unit as well
