Both of my adult kids have the good fortune of being cared for by Dr Doherty and his team for their genetic epilepsy. I am well aware that the closest expert with their SCN1a gene variant is in Boise, ID.He is why we are committed to staying in the area so they can continue to lead such happy and active lives with great seizure control. Dr Doherty, we are so grateful for your expertise and explanations of various options and the science and research to back it up Thanks for partnering so well with us! We appreciate you and your staff so much!
