Hi! I live in Costa Rica, and would like to get a second opinion on my 3 year old daughter’s cryptogenic epilepsy. Which are the most recognized places in the US to get a good diagnosis for children? Florida would be awesome because my Dad has a place I can stay in Orlando or Ft Lauderdale. But I don’t know how good pediatric neurologists are there. Where could I start? Should I first see a pediatrician? And get started from there? Or should I go straight to a specialist? Thank you!

You should look up for a good reviewed neurologist. One way to do so is go to the site of the epilepsy foundation. You can find many answers to your questions as to be pointed into the right direction. Best of luck to you. 😊
