Medicine seems to run in my family. My father trained as a physician in Iceland, and my childhood was split between the US and Reykjavik, Iceland. At first, I wanted to be a veterinarian, but once in medical school I had my heart set on Pediatrics from the start. I love kids. With eight children of my own I have realized that every child is unique and that there is no one right way to parent. Parents can be certain that I will be upfront with them regarding their child’s illness. I treat people the way I want to be treated when I step into a physician’s office with one of my kids. I try to listen more than I speak and learn from others at every opportunity. To me the treatment of a child is a collaboration between the child, his/her parents and the physician and team at Nemours. Together we will find the best solution, always.

Murtuza K. Kothawala, MD, is a board-certified pediatric neurologist with the Orlando Health Children's Neuroscience Institute. He specializes in the treatment and management of neurological, behavioral and developmental disorders in children. He also has a special interest in pediatric epilepsy and headaches. Caring for Children with Epilepsy Epilepsy is a complex and often frightening disorder. Dr. Kothawala is dedicated to caring for children with epilepsy with the goal of eliminating seizures and side effects from treatment and helping his patients achieve the best possible daily function Since epileptic seizures result from abnormal electrical activity in the brain, Dr. Kothawala finds electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) an effective way to confirm the location of seizures in the brain in order to determine the best targeted treatment for each patient. What is EMG? Electromyography, known as EMG, is used to detect abnormalities in the brain by measuring its electrical activity. EMG helps identify areas of the brain that emit too many electric signals. Normal areas produce electrical signals that are a certain size, shape and sound, while damaged areas produce different signals. By analyzing these abnormal electrical signals, Dr. Kothawala is able to identify the specific site, nature and extent of damage. Understanding NCV Nerve conduction velocity, or NCV, measures how quickly electrical impulses travel. Certain neurological conditions cause electrical signals to be transmitted more slowly than normal. This test helps Dr. Kothawala determine the site, nature and extent of any damage. NCV is usually performed along with an EMG. Dr. Kothawala's Training Dr. Kothawala earned his medical and master's degree in pediatrics from the Government Medical College and Hospital in Nagpur, India.
