DFaulk,

I live in Raleigh as well. One group I would not suggested is Raleigh Neurology. They are not interested in their patients individually as they have way too many per neurologist and Nurse Practitioners.

I too am having the same symptoms as your wife. I have been to Duke and they are very good about getting things straightened out. If possible get in to see Dr. Strine at DUMC 1L. Here is his information:

Duke Clinics
(919) 668-7600
Dr. Strine’s Office # (919)-681-1608

Glenwood Ave/US-70 W - 4.5 mi
Left onto TW Alxander Dr. - 4.0 mi
Merge onto NC-147 N toward Durham - 7.6 mi
Exit 15A Elba St./Trent Dr. - 0.3 mi
Slight Left onto Trent Dr. Ramp - <0.1 mi
Slight Left onto Trent Drive


I live off of Glenwood Ave. so you may have to adjust the directions.

I too was having "seizures", so Dr. Strine sent me to see Dr. Radtke who is a specialist in "seizures, seizure like episodes". He is in the same department as Dr. Strine.

When you call to make the appt(if you call Duke)use the first number above. That is DUMC(Duke University Medical Clinic). That is where these two specialist practice. The office number is if you need prescription refills or need to talk to Dr. Strine personally.

They are very good specialist. All though I haven't gotten all my answers, I can tell you that they don't leave you in the dark. Dr. Radte even gives out his email address so that you can contact him with any concerns.

I hope this helps you. Best wishes to you and your wife.

Missy
