Doctor Aboumater is amazing. He knows his stuff inside and out. His patient care is a breath of fresh air when it comes to neurology.
I have had the hardest time with neurologist for whatever reason. They all seem rude and arrogant. Not him. I immediately felt welcomed and in great hands when I first saw him. I have had epilepsy since I was 12 and am now 32.
He told me so many things about my disorder that I had no idea about. The first thing he did was a 3 day EEG. He was surprised I had never had one and even more surprised I had no idea what it was. He was ok with me staying on the meds I was currently taking as my seizures were controlled. I was planning on getting pregnant and he successfully made the switch of meds smooth and seizure free. I unfortunately suffered from PPD. He amazingly diagnosed it. I would think a psychologist would but he knew right away and prescribed me something. I immediately felt better and myself again.
For that I will always be grateful. I was also becoming extremely exhausted. I shrugged it off as being a new mom. He knew I need to come down on one of my meds. Again, I felt so much better and seizure free. Bottoms line- I urge anyone who struggles with epilepsy to see him. You will most likely hear things you haven't before about your disorder. Make sure to schedule your time accordingly because you will wait a while. Which is a good thing. He spends a lot of time with you. read more
