Dr Kahlil is a great Doctor and I truly believe that he has been trying to help me find why I have these stares, spells, or what ever they are. Nashville is just getting to be a long way to drive for my wife and I can't help her until I get the stares under control.

She was sharp, focused, asked questions and listened to my answers. She didn't just ask questions and then move on after hearing my answers, she suggested I go to the hospital so they could monitor my seizure activity. She then went to Dr.Khalil to get his input and then Dr. Khalil came into the room and suggested I get an MRI of the brain and seizure monitoring in the hospital. I felt I was heard and was given solutions to discover my condition. She was excellent!

Dr. Khalil is one of the best doctors Vanderbilt or any other hospital could wish for. I feel lucky to have him as my neurologist for over ten years now.
