Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our services, process, and remote practice model.

What types of EEG studies does SWAG Health PLLC interpret?

We interpret Routine EEG, Long-Term (Video) EEG, and Ambulatory EEG studies, with a focus on epilepsy-related findings.

How long does it take to receive a report?

Routine EEGs are typically read within one business day. Long-Term and Ambulatory studies may take longer depending on recording length; expedited review is available for urgent cases — ask us about timing when you send a study.

How do I send an EEG study for interpretation?

Reach out through our contact page and we'll set up a secure, HIPAA-compliant method for transmitting recordings that fits your existing systems.

Is SWAG Health PLLC a remote-only practice?

Yes. SWAG Health PLLC operates as a fully remote, telehealth-based practice, allowing us to support referring clinicians and facilities without geographic restriction.

Who interprets the EEG studies?

All studies are personally reviewed and interpreted by Dr. Muhammad Bhatti, a neurologist specializing in epilepsy.

Can I discuss a report directly with Dr. Bhatti?

Yes. Direct communication with the interpreting physician is part of our service — reach out through the contact page with any questions about a read.

What is the difference between Routine, Long-Term, and Ambulatory EEG?

Routine EEG is a brief, single-session recording. Long-Term (Video) EEG is an extended, typically inpatient recording paired with video, used to capture and classify seizure events. Ambulatory EEG is a multi-day outpatient recording performed in the patient's normal environment. See our Services page for full details on each.

Do you read Ceribell EEGs?

Yes. We interpret Ceribell rapid response, point-of-care EEG studies for ICU and ED settings, providing a clinical read alongside the device's Clarity seizure burden output to help treating teams identify nonconvulsive seizures and status epilepticus quickly. See our Services page for details.

What an EEG Looks Like

Small sensors on the scalp connect to a computer, which records the brain’s electrical activity as wavy lines.

EEG Questions, Answered by Kids

Short videos to help children (and parents) know what to expect from an EEG.

Does an EEG hurt?An EEG is generally painless. The sensors record electrical activity; they don’t send electricity in.
Does an EEG take pictures?No — unlike a brain scan, an EEG records electrical patterns over time.
Getting ready for your EEGWash your hair the night before. Clean, dry hair with no oils, gels or conditioner helps the sensors work well.
Bring something cozyA favorite toy or comfort item from home can help kids feel relaxed during their EEG.
