I suffers from infrequent seizures. My AVM has been removed by radiation. Are there any docs that help?

looking for neurologist in the OC who specalizes in epileptic seizures post AVM removal.

Hey, I have seizures and avms in the GI tract. My brain is clear but I understand the frustration of looking for doctors who can help. The fact is you will most likely want to see a specialist. I go to Children's Hospital Boston, they treat any age and have the best vascular anomaly center in the U.S. Look for a VA center, not a neurologist, the fact is that most neuros only see a few avms and they pass them on to surgeons and the specialists. I like that Boston does a multi-disciplinary view. Good Luck, there is a great support site for us AVM sufferers the link is below. http://www.westga.edu/~wmaples/aneurysm....
