    Simply adore Dr. Richards. My seizures are well managed for the moment but she always checks to make sure I'm not facing any stress, lack of sleep'the things she knows trigger my seizures. She always makes sure we talk about treatments and things that might be new on the horizon to treat epilepsy.
