My doctor made a decision without my input. I didn't get a chance to explain everything that's been going on before he chose to do this.

Excellent!

The doctor and I saw eye to eye for the meeting. Understood my concerns and realized what I was talking about. I liked how the doctor saw the side effects I was talking about and was willing to have my back with wanting to switch me back to the name brand to get rid of the side effect.

I believe Dr. Benbadis is an expert doctor. If I wasn't a nurse and well-acquainted with the complexities of my 30-year old son's needs (he is profoundly intellectually and physically disabled), I might have been overwhelmed with Dr. Benbadis's "cut to the chase" approach. I prefer to have a bit more interaction with a provider about the complexities of my son's condition, but I did feel confident that Dr. Benbadis made great decisions for him.

Dr. Salim Benbadis was very courteous and patient. He was open to questions and gave us directions.
8/8/2025
I tried to explain triggers that I've been having for my seizures especially with foods and he told me that they couldn't be the problem. He quickly prescribed an additional med and did not want to know of other health problems I'm having. I feel very belittled when I speak to him, more like a test subject than a person. I appreciate that he writes my refills for my seizure meds.
