All results of testing are usually conveyed during the follow up visit unless the results require urgent attention - then one of the clinical staff will contact you immediately once results are available.

Q: What should i expect from my office visits? what should i bring for a visit?
Every patient that is seen at NCES is unique and hence, we take a personalized and unique approach with each patient. Come in with an open mind without any preconceived expectations of what may or may not occur. Bring in your medication list, any prior medical records that may be related to your condition and our front desk staff will inform you of anything else to bring in for the first office visit.

Q: What are the side effects of the medications you prescribe?
Please contact us at (742)856-5999 to schedule a consultation. All medications are associated with potential side effects. The most common side effects for antiepileptic medications are lethargy (tiredness) however this mostly occurs during the first 6-8 weeks after starting a medication and tends to ease up after one's body gets used to the medication after some time.

Q: Do eeg tests hurt? What can i expect from my test?
EEG testing is noninvasive, does not hurt. As the EEG electrodes are hooked up, the EEG technologist will clean/scrub the areas of the scalp where electrodes are placed in order for there to be a good connection with the scalp. During a routine EEG, you will lie on a stretcher during which time your brain waves will be recording. Depending on your age and other medical conditions, you may be asked to do activation procedures - 2 minutes of photic stimulation (with eyes closed) and 3 minutes of hyperventilation. Activation procedures such as these sometimes bring out abnormalities on the EEG that otherwise will not be seen. An EEG (electroencephalogram) is merely a test to measure the electrical networking of one's brain. It is one of the key diagnostic tests used in order to diagnose and manage epileptic conditions.

Q: Am i going to lose my driving license if i am diagnosed with epilepsy?
If you have a CDL, federal law is very strict in that you are no longer allowed to use it and must be seizure free on an antiepileptic medication for 10 years before the CDL can be used again. If you have an epileptic condition where you have seizures that contribute to loss of awareness and/or loss of control of bodily functions, in the state of NJ the law is that you must not drive and must be seizure free ON ANTIEPILEPTIC drug therapy for at least 6 months before you can drive again. If you have an epileptic condition characterized by seizures without loss of awareness and/or loss of bodily function, you will be able to maintain driving privileges without restrictions.

Q: What if i cannot afford the medication or testing that is being recommended?
We participate with most major health insurance companies but do not participate with the NJ Medicaid program or any medicaid plans. All of the workups we performed are covered by the insurances that we accept however if patients have co-insurances, deductibles - these are considered "out of pocket" costs. For patient's who cannot afford testing - we refer them to programs such as "Care Credit" to help pay for the testing. Many antiepileptic medication manufacturers offer discounts and patient assistant programs to help pay for medications.

Q: I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. Do you treat for this?
No - we are primarily an epileptic -focused neurology practice. However, if one of our patients does have peripheral neuropathy in addition to a networking disorder of the brain (which is our focus), we do diagnose/evaluate/treat for this condition. We do not see patients with concerns of peripheral neuropathy alone, however. This evaluation should be done at a general neurology practice.

Q: What's the difference between "epilepsy" and "seizures"?
Epilepsy is a neural networking disorder of the brain characterized by patients having recurrent, unprovoked seizures. A seizure is a transient, neurological event associated with a sudden onset rhythmic storm of over excessive electrical activity involving a portion of the brain (focal seizure) or the whole brain (generalized seizure). 1 in 10 people will have a provoked seizure at some point in life - this does not meet the definition of epilepsy. Hope this helps!

Q: What happens if i don't take the anti-seizure medicine i was prescribed?
If you have an epileptic condition, non-compliance with medications can dramatically increase the risk for more epileptic seizures and when one has more seizures, there will be more brain damage; the brain will learn to go into seizures more efficiently and there is higher risk for death and long term problems with cognition (dementia) with an uncontrolled epileptic condition. Furthermore, uncontrolled epilepsy is highly associated with lack of employment and no driving.

I see Heather Black she is amazing, the best doctor I have ever seen. She is caring and super understanding and extremely knowledgeable. Dr Mehta is also a fantastic doctor I have seen him a few times and he is great too. They take their time and listen to you. I didn’t know what was happening to me for the longest time they did tests and were finally able to see what was going on and put me on medication for my epilepsy and finally all my symptoms went away. I don’t know what I would have done without them , I would probably still be experiencing seizures. The whole staff is great. If you are experiencing any neurological issues or epileptic conditions please go here.They are the best.

I will forever be so thankful for Dr. Mehta. He was the only doctor to take the time and look into my past to figure out where the seizures were coming from and how to limit them from happening. He has done exactly that, my seizures are now under control and I can live a normal, every day life. I became a patient with him in 2017 and would not have the success I have without him. The Physician Assistant Bre is also amazing, when I don’t see Dr. Mehta she is my next in line! ☺️ I will always refer people with my same condition to his practice. Thank you!!! 👏🏼

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found the Neurology Center for Epilepsy and Seizures. After experiencing a grand mal seizure, I was referred to see an outpatient neurologist, and I am so thankful that this was the first practice I tried. From the moment I walked in, Dr. Mehta and Heather Black made me feel truly cared for. During my first appointment, they took the time to listen to my full history and were incredibly thorough in understanding my symptoms. What I initially thought were faint spells and anxiety-related issues were, in fact, absent seizures and all connected to a diagnosis of autonomic nervous system epilepsy. While it was obviously concerning to hear this, it was also a huge relief to finally have an explanation for years of unexplained symptoms. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Dr. Mehta and Heather Black are not only brilliant doctors with an incredible depth of knowledge, but they are also compassionate and dedicated to improving the quality of life of their patients. Their approach is both thorough and reassuring, and it’s clear that patient care is their top priority. The entire team at the Neurology Center—from the nurses to the staff—made me feel supported every step of the way. I truly feel lucky to have found this practice, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking expert care for epilepsy or seizures. Thank you, Dr. Mehta, Heather Black, and everyone at the clinic for changing my life. I am forever grateful!

I’ve been a patient for 2 yrs and I really can’t express how thorough, thoughtful and kind this practice is. From the front desk to the nurses, Heather Black the PA is my angel. She’s always available through the portal (response is within hours), cheering me on, talking me off the ledge, and helping work through this epilepsy journey. Dr. Mehta is a listener and then tells it like it is. Extremely thorough in his diagnosis and willing to go over every question you have. I’m not a great patient but the entire staff kindly supported me and after almost 2 yrs I’m feeling myself again thanks to Dr. Mehta and Heather Black
