My parents found Dr. Khalil for me because my epilepsy was so bad that I would have multiple seizures a day. I would fly from Florida to Memphis and drive 4 hours to see him for testing, visits, and surgeries. I had to be med flighted to Vanderbilt twice and he saved my life. As long as he is practicing, he will be my epileptologist. He does not allow insurance or the patients ability to pay get in the way of treating his patients. He is the best in the world and I say that as a patient and a nurse. Melisha Hammond
