If you are looking for an epileptologist in Gujarat, this page explains when a seizure-focused review, EEG interpretation, Video EEG, PNES assessment or drug-resistant epilepsy evaluation may help.
Dr. Abhishek Gohel and Dr. Rutul Shah see patients in Ahmedabad for seizure and epilepsy review, then discuss whether routine EEG, sleep-deprived EEG, Video EEG, PNES assessment, medicine review or surgery evaluation should come next.
An epileptologist is a neurologist who spends extra training on epilepsy, seizure classification, EEG interpretation, Video EEG decisions and drug-resistant epilepsy care. Patients from Gujarat usually need this review when events keep recurring, the diagnosis is still uncertain, the EEG report is confusing, or seizures continue despite medicines.
At Gujarat Epilepsy & Neuro Clinic in Ahmedabad, Dr. Abhishek Gohel and Dr. Rutul Shah review the history, reports and videos first. From there, they discuss whether routine EEG, sleep-deprived EEG, Video EEG, PNES assessment, medicine changes or surgery evaluation should be considered.
For a first seizure, recurring seizures, abnormal EEG reports or a second opinion.
EEG decisionsFor unclear events, EEG correlation, event capture or monitoring decisions.
Medicine pathwayWhen seizures continue despite medicines and the next investigation or treatment choice is unclear.
Seizure-like eventsFor blackouts, unusual spells, mixed events or possible non-epileptic episodes.

A neurologist treats many brain, nerve and spinal conditions. An epileptologist is a neurologist with additional epilepsy training, especially in seizure semiology, EEG/Video EEG interpretation, medication strategy and drug-resistant epilepsy care.
For many neurological symptoms, a general neurology visit is enough. When seizures are recurring, the diagnosis is uncertain, routine EEG is normal despite events, or medicines are not working as expected, an epilepsy-focused review can be useful.
Patients come from Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Vadodara, Surat, Bharuch, Vapi, Rajkot, Mehsana, Palanpur, Himmatnagar and nearby South Rajasthan for epilepsy review, EEG interpretation, Video EEG planning or a second opinion before important treatment decisions.
Use the outstation hub if the main question is how to plan an Ahmedabad visit. Use the South Gujarat, Rajasthan or Saurashtra pages when travel planning, report preparation and local emergency boundaries need clearer context.
A short witness video often helps, especially when the question is seizure, fainting, PNES or another mimic.
EEG records brain electrical activity. A normal routine EEG does not always rule out epilepsy, and an abnormal EEG does not automatically explain every event. The report needs to be read with the history, medicine response, MRI findings and, when available, a phone video of the episode.
Video EEG is discussed when events are hard to classify, frequent enough to capture, suspected to be PNES, or part of drug-resistant epilepsy and surgery evaluation. MRI review can help match the seizure type with any structural finding.
Some episodes look like epileptic seizures but do not come from the same electrical changes in the brain. PNES should not be diagnosed from appearance alone. Some patients also have both epileptic seizures and non-epileptic events.
The review may include history, witness videos and Video EEG, when appropriate, to separate epilepsy, fainting, PNES and other seizure-like conditions.
Doctors consider drug-resistant epilepsy when seizures continue despite trials of two appropriate anti-seizure medicines. This does not make surgery automatic. It means the diagnosis, seizure type, EEG/MRI correlation and treatment plan deserve a careful relook.
Review seizure history, event videos, EEG reports, MRI findings and medicine response.
Video EEG monitoring, MRI/PET review or additional testing may be considered when appropriate.
Multidisciplinary discussion and epilepsy surgery evaluation may be considered. Outcomes vary by case.
If needed, the next work-up may include Video EEG monitoring, MRI/PET review, neuropsychology, a multidisciplinary discussion and epilepsy surgery evaluation. Outcomes vary and depend on the individual case.
At Gujarat Epilepsy & Neuro Clinic, Dr. Abhishek Gohel and Dr. Rutul Shah work together on epilepsy and seizure-related consultations. Both have DM Neurology training from NIMHANS and fellowship training in epilepsy.
They review seizures, blackouts, abnormal EEG reports, Video EEG questions, PNES concerns, drug-resistant epilepsy and pre-surgical evaluation needs.
An epileptologist is a neurologist with additional training in epilepsy, seizure classification, EEG interpretation, Video EEG decisions and drug-resistant epilepsy care.
Consider a review if seizures are recurring, the diagnosis is unclear, the EEG report is abnormal or hard to interpret, events continue despite medicines, PNES is possible, or surgery evaluation has been raised.
Yes. Patients from several Gujarat cities visit Ahmedabad for epilepsy review, EEG or Video EEG planning, drug-resistant epilepsy assessment and second opinions. Prior reports and event videos are useful to bring.
No. Video EEG is usually discussed when routine evaluation has not answered the question, events need to be captured, PNES is possible, or drug-resistant epilepsy evaluation needs more detail.
Yes. The review can reassess the diagnosis, seizure type, medicines, adherence, EEG/MRI correlation and whether drug-resistant epilepsy or surgery evaluation should be considered. Outcomes vary by cause and case.
