November 3 1993 Dr. Robert Goodman stopped my seizures completely. I had seizures for 30 years, i was married, had a 2 year old, although all the medicine i tried did not control my seizures completely. Thank you Dr. Goodman for devoting your life to Neuro science. I am now 32 years seizure free...all because of your courage and strive to keep moving forward! ❤️
