Proper medical opinions are based on a full review of a patients past and current history, a thorough exam and testing. This is not possible with the minimal data provided. If you both are not happy with her current doc, get a second in person evaluation.

Not all seizures are epilepsy as not all movement disorders are seizures. Matter of fact there are psychogenic no epileptic seizures or PNES. Follow up in the office and eventually seeing a neurologist specializing in epilepsy/ seizure disorders may help in clarifying.
