Dr Hanowell likes round pegs for her single round hole of epilepsy. If your child has another neurological issue, or does not fit classic symptoms, she will dismiss you out of hand. She did not provide thorough evaluation, refused any testing, dismissed our concerns and those of the two other doctors treating our child, and could not get us out of her office fast enough. We are disgusted that Childrens would employ such a sub-par doctor at all.
