Epilepsy Surgery, California Pacific
Thu, 12/11/2008 - 02:34Topic: Surgery and Devices
Hello everybody.
Well, after many attempts to curb my seizures with medication, my doctor and I have decided to look in to seeing if I am a candidate for surgery. At this point in my life I am quite comfortable with it because *nothing* could be as frightening as having a seizure.
Based on my doctor's advice, I am being referred to California Pacific Epilepsy Center in San Francisco.
I have done a little bit of research so far (I'm just getting in to it) and have noticed that it is not a Level 4 center.
As far as I can tell this center offers all of the services that the other centers do, as far as testing, surgery, etc.
Has anyone here on epilepsy.com had experience with this center? I would love to hear from you if you have!
Thank you!
