Quick answer
A focused visit for complex seizure questions
Outstation epilepsy review is useful when a family is travelling to Ahmedabad because the seizure diagnosis, EEG meaning, medicine response or next investigation is still uncertain.
The clinic visit can help decide whether routine EEG, sleep-deprived EEG, Video EEG, PNES assessment, drug-resistant epilepsy review or surgery evaluation should be considered.

Before booking
Check whether an Ahmedabad review fits your situation
This short planning check is for travel-ready families and referring clinicians with a complex epilepsy question. It is not a diagnosis or emergency service.
Please do not send reports, seizure videos, medicine details or a clinical history here. For emergencies, use local emergency care or call 108.

What to expect when planning an Ahmedabad visit
Initial appointment time varies with the question and records available. The first visit focuses on whether an additional test or opinion is actually needed.
Same-day investigations or admission are not assumed. If a test or hospital pathway is appropriate, timing and local logistics are planned separately.
Who should consider travelling?
- First seizure or repeated seizures where the plan is still unclear
- Unclear blackouts, staring spells, falls or seizure-like events
- Abnormal EEG report, or normal EEG despite continuing events
- Seizures continuing despite two appropriate medicine trials
- Possible PNES, mixed events, focal epilepsy or generalized epilepsy
- Questions about Video EEG, MRI correlation or surgery evaluation
Patients travelling to Ahmedabad
Patients may travel from Gujarat and nearby Rajasthan when a focused epilepsy review is needed before changing medicines, repeating tests or planning admission-based Video EEG.
This Ahmedabad-based page is the main outstation planning pathway and does not imply local branches outside Ahmedabad. A separate Rajasthan page addresses that state-specific travel context.

What reports to bring
- Previous prescriptions and current medicine list
- EEG reports, Video EEG reports and MRI brain report or disc
- Hospital discharge summaries, blood reports and referral notes
- Phone videos of events when available
- A brief timeline of seizure dates, triggers and medicine changes
A short witness video is often useful when the question is seizure, fainting, PNES or another mimic.
EEG, Video EEG and MRI review
EEG and MRI reports are most useful when read with the event history. A normal routine EEG does not always rule out epilepsy, and an abnormal EEG does not automatically explain every blackout or fall.
Video EEG may be discussed when the event needs capture, PNES is possible, seizure classification is uncertain, or drug-resistant epilepsy and surgery evaluation need more detail.
Drug-resistant epilepsy pathway
When medicines are not controlling seizures
Drug-resistant epilepsy is considered when seizures continue despite two appropriate anti-seizure medicines. This does not make surgery automatic. It means the diagnosis, seizure type, EEG/MRI correlation and treatment plan should be reviewed carefully.
1
Review before travel
Collect prescriptions, EEG, MRI, discharge summaries and event videos so the visit starts with the right question.
2
Clinic assessment
Dr. Abhishek Gohel and Dr. Rutul Shah review seizure type, reports, medicines and whether EEG or Video EEG is needed.
3
Plan next step
Medicine review, Video EEG, PNES assessment, MRI/PET correlation or surgery evaluation may be considered. Outcomes vary by case.
PNES and seizure-like events
Some episodes look like epileptic seizures but come from a different mechanism. PNES should not be diagnosed from appearance alone, and some patients may have both epileptic and non-epileptic events.
History, witness videos and Video EEG, when appropriate, can help separate epilepsy, fainting, PNES and other seizure-like conditions.
When urgent local care is needed
Travel planning is not for emergencies. Use the nearest emergency department or call 108 if a seizure lasts longer than usual, injuries occur, breathing is affected, repeated seizures happen without recovery, or the person is pregnant, very young, elderly or medically unstable.
Once the immediate risk is addressed, specialist review can help with diagnosis, safety planning and longer-term epilepsy decisions.
Meet Dr. Abhishek Gohel and Dr. Rutul Shah
At Gujarat Epilepsy & Neuro Clinic in Ahmedabad, Dr. Abhishek Gohel and Dr. Rutul Shah review seizure histories, EEG reports, Video EEG questions, PNES concerns, drug-resistant epilepsy and surgery-evaluation needs.
Both doctors have DM Neurology training from NIMHANS and fellowship training in epilepsy. The visit is planned around the patient story, reports and the specific decision that needs to be made.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this outstation epilepsy review page for?
It is for patients and families travelling to Ahmedabad with repeated seizures, unclear blackouts, abnormal EEG reports, PNES concern, Video EEG questions or drug-resistant epilepsy review needs.
Does this mean the clinic has branches outside Ahmedabad?
No. Gujarat Epilepsy & Neuro Clinic is based in Ahmedabad. This page helps outstation patients plan an Ahmedabad visit; it does not imply a local branch in other cities.
What should I bring for an outstation epilepsy visit?
Bring prescriptions, current medicine list, EEG reports, Video EEG reports if any, MRI report or disc, discharge summaries, blood reports and phone videos of events when available.
Will I need Video EEG if I travel to Ahmedabad?
Not necessarily. The first step is to review the event history, phone videos, EEG reports, MRI and current medicines. Video EEG is discussed only when it can answer a specific question, such as event capture, PNES assessment, seizure classification, drug-resistant epilepsy review or surgery evaluation.
When should I use local emergency care instead of travelling?
Use nearest emergency care or call 108 for prolonged seizures, repeated seizures without recovery, injury, breathing difficulty, pregnancy, very young age, elderly patients or medical instability.
