Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Knowledgeable, compassionate

Dr. Keough always takes the time needed to talk through any concerns. She has all of the latest medical knowledge related to epilepsy and all conditions that go along with that. I highly recommend her to any family needing her expertise.

Dr. Keough has been with my son since 2008. She is an amazing doctor and person. I believe that she had a hand in saving my sons ( @ShakenBabySurvivorAnthony ) life after his TBI and for the last 11 years. She is a blessing to my son and our family. She brings quality back to life for us.

Best specialist we could ask for! After searching throughout the Texas Medical Center and out-of state, we were referred to Dr. Keough. She has done an exceptional job finding the exact combination of medications and treatments. She takes time to know her patients, too. Highest recommendation!

Excellent doctor for my son’s epilepsy! She changed his treatment and we are finally getting better control over seizures! She has an honest and hopeful attitude and is great at informing me of options. She also helps me to be involved in the decision making. So glad we got referred to her.

Dr Keough covers every possible need and possible treatments for our daughter and lets us be part of the solutions. She attacks problems head-on and the goal is to give our child the best quality of life possible as we try to eliminate her seizures.

Very pleased with my experience at CNCA! We've seen a dozen neurologists over the past 9 years from Austin to San Antonio to Baltimore, due to the complexity of my child's needs. Out of all the specialists we've seen, Dr. Keough stands out as an exceptional physician who truly cares for her patients and takes the time to listen carefully and individualize care. Under her care, I feel empowered as a caretaker of a child with special needs; I feel supported; I feel confident about placing my child's care in her hands. Dr. Keough treats her patients with utmost care. My only regret is that it took us 9 years to find our way to her, but we are so thankful to now call her OUR doctor.

Dr. Keough has been by our side since our daughter was hospitalized that first time at 5 weeks old. Now, nearly 4 years later, she continues to stand by our family's side and advocate for our daughter. I've learned Dr. Keough is very progressive and open to exploring all options for the betterment of her patients...despite the possibility of having to refer you outside her care. She is always open to listening to our concerns and it feels that she is always pushing to produce the best outcome and quality of life. I've recommended her to friends who have special needs kids with complicated neurological issues. Glad to have her in our corner.

Horrible service from Dr Keough and Staff. Staff is quite rude and ignores patients needs as does Dr Keough . She gives harmful meds and doesn't keep her word. DO NOT GO TO DR. KAREN KEOUGH. She is harmful to your children and parents alike.

Dr. Keough has very poor bedside manner, makes poor medication choices, makes choices that caused our child harm. Definitely Do Not recommend her as an epileptologist.
