    Philosophy of care | In the field of epilepsy, just one seizure every 6 months is enough to prevent someone from driving, obtaining employment, or having a family life. Seizures can also lead to disability and death. | I strive to obtain seizure-freedom in all patients, while trying to minimize any side-effects. I promise to get to know you and understand what your main concern is. In return, I ask that you do your best to share all thoughts, concerns, and questions openly with me, and that you strive to make all you appointments, so that I can best serve you. | I will do my best to relieve these symptoms with no harm, with the goal to help you return to your normal lifestyle. | Why I entered medicine | As a child, I was always fascinated by doctors at my appointments. This ultimately led me to pursue the field of medicine. I initially planned on being a family medicine doctor and returning to my small hometown. However, no matter how best we think we have our future planned out, something always comes along that pulls us in another direction. | During my medical school rotations, I found my neurology rotation to be the most interesting, which led me to a neurology residency. While in my neurology training, I had the experience of seeing epilepsy patients being monitored in the hospital. This could take 1-2 weeks, which allowed me to get to know these people. | I was able to feel their frustration of how single events that lasted only 1-5 minutes were enough to control their entire lives. This led me to the field of epilepsy, of which I now focus my full efforts. | Community involvement | I am actively involved with the local Epilepsy Foundation. | Personal interests | I am a fan of many forms of music from Classical to Big Band, Folk, 40s - 90s, Broadway and movie soundtracks, Disney music, and others. I enjoy animation art, especially the original form of animation cels (celluloids) which were used up until the 1990's.

His top areas of expertise are Seizures, Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure, Post-Traumatic Epilepsy, and Memory Loss.

    What is the definition of Absence Seizure?

    An absence seizure is the term for a type of seizure involving staring spells. This type of seizure is a brief (usually less than 15 seconds) change in awareness due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

    When should I see an Absence Seizure doctor near Allentown, PA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing an Absence Seizure doctor near Allentown, PA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Absence Seizure doctors near Allentown, PA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Absence Seizure doctors near Allentown, PA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with an Absence Seizure doctor near Allentown, PA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Absence Seizure doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Absence Seizure doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with an Absence Seizure doctor near Allentown, PA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Absence Seizure doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Absence Seizure doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Absence Seizure doctors near Allentown, PA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Absence Seizure doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find an Absence Seizure doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Absence Seizure doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
