I'm a family practice doc who went to med school at Rush, now living in Colorado. You do not need to go to Mayo. They truly have top notch, world class medical care in the Chicago area. With U of Chicago, Northwestern, Rush, Loyola, and U of Illinois medical schools, the level of expertise is not better anywhere. Push your primary care physician, if he or she cannot help you, to refer you to a neurologist in your area. If that doesn't get the seizures controlled, then the above mentioned medical schools/centers would be the next step. Insurances will have available coverage for the referrals as long as you follow THEIR procedures and work through your primary care physician. If your PCP isn't willing to, or able to, help you or get you to somebody who can, find a different one. Seizure disorder is ALMOST always controllable.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
