If you have a primary care doctor they can refer you to a neurologist plus order any labs while waiting to see the neurologist they referred you to

You can ask your primary doctor for a referral to a neurologist. Once it is given then you can check some neurologists out for yourself and see if they specialize in the condition of Epilepsy. This is currently what I am doing right now. I have a neurologist, but don't like the one I was referred to and so now I will see another one this month. Also, you can recommend from your primary doctor to see an Epileptologist (doctor that specializes in Epilepsy). I am going to prefer this because there are too many neurological conditions. Good luck with finding a neurologist/epileptologist.
