Comprehensive Evaluation for Seizures, Spells, and Episodes of Altered Awareness
Seizures can look very different from person to person. Some patients have shaking or convulsions, while others may experience staring spells, confusion, memory gaps, unusual sensations, sudden falls, unexplained loss of awareness, or episodes that are difficult to describe.
At VerityMD Neurology, we provide careful neurological evaluation, routine EEG, and ambulatory video EEG monitoring when clinically appropriate to help clarify whether symptoms may be related to seizures, epilepsy, fainting, migraine, sleep disorders, medication effects, or other neurological conditions.
Symptoms We Evaluate
First-time seizure
Recurrent seizure-like episodes
Staring spells
Loss of consciousness
Nocturnal events or possible seizures during sleep
Breakthrough seizures despite treatment
Driving clearance questions related to seizures
Seizures after stroke, brain injury, tumor, infection, or other neurological illness
Conditions We Help Evaluate or Manage
Epilepsy
First-time seizure evaluation
Breakthrough seizures
Nonepileptic events versus epileptic seizures
Syncope versus seizure
Nocturnal spells
Medication-resistant seizures
Services and How They Help
Neurology Consultation for Seizures and Spells
A seizure evaluation begins with detailed history from the patient and family, review of triggers, episode timing, medications, prior imaging, prior EEG results, and neurological examination.
How this helps:
Clarifies whether symptoms may represent seizures
Identifies possible triggers or risk factors
Determines whether EEG testing, MRI review, labs, or medication changes may be appropriate
Routine EEG
A routine EEG is a noninvasive brain wave test that records electrical activity from the brain using scalp electrodes.
How this helps:
Looks for epileptiform discharges or abnormal brain wave activity
Helps support or clarify a seizure diagnosis
May guide medication and safety decisions
Ambulatory Video EEG Monitoring
Ambulatory video EEG allows brain wave activity and video to be recorded over a longer period while the patient is at home, when clinically appropriate.
How this helps:
Increases the chance of capturing intermittent events
Helps correlate symptoms with EEG and video findings
May help distinguish epileptic seizures from nonepileptic events
Medication Review and Seizure Treatment Planning
Anti-seizure medication decisions depend on seizure type, age, comorbidities, pregnancy considerations, mood, sleep, headaches, interactions, and side effect risk.
How this helps:
Improves medication safety
Reviews adherence and breakthrough seizure causes
Supports better seizure control and patient education
Seizure Safety Counseling
Patients may need counseling about driving restrictions, water safety, heights, medication adherence, sleep, and emergency planning.
How this helps:
Reduces injury risk
Helps families know what to do during an event
Clarifies when emergency care is needed
EEG testing to help assess seizure activity
Some patients develop seizures or seizure-like episodes after a concussion or other brain injury. When clinically appropriate, VerityMD may use EEG testing as part of the neurological evaluation of seizures
after brain injury.
When Seizures & Ambulatory EEG Monitoring May Be Helpful
A first seizure
Recurrent unexplained spells
Episodes of staring or loss of awareness
Unexplained falls or blackouts
Nocturnal spells
Breakthrough seizures
Clinical concern for seizure despite normal prior testing

What Patients Say About Their VerityMD Experience
Being heard. Finding answers. Knowing what comes next.
I found Dr Mittal and his assistants to be very thorough and kind. They did not rush me through my appointment but listened to my concerns and then they were very good about addressing those concerns. I came away from the appointment feeling so much better because they really listened to me. So many doctors these days don’t bother to examine me but that was not my experience with Dr Mittal and his assistants. The front desk people were also very kind and professional.
Excellent experience at VerityMD Neurology Clinic. The staff was professional, caring, and attentive. The doctor listened carefully to my concerns and explained everything clearly. The clinic was clean and well organized. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for quality neurological care. Thank you for your excellent service.
Dr. Mittal and his team are so professional and helpful. I started seeing him last year. He has been very thorough in diagnosing my health condition. He and his staff are kind and caring.
My husband and I are very impressed with the care and professionalism of Dr. Mittal and his staff. Dr. Mittal took time to listen to us - to ask us questions - and to clearly explain the diagnosis and his treatment recommendations. We feel very fortunate - and relieved - to have this neurologist as a member of our care team.
Saw Dr. Mittal and during the first visit he was able to order a few tests that helped diagnose my issue. During the appointment he spent a good amount of time with me and made me feel heard. He was then able to see me again on short notice to help direct me towards next steps, I am very grateful to him.
My 1st appointment with Dr. Mittal, was such a pleasure & surprise. The staff & Dr. Mittal were kind & not in such a hurry. The Dr. took a half hour with me, thoroughly explaining his thoughts & what was to come. Impressed is not a strong enough adjective! Thank you for being a true Doctor who cares.
