Brien Smith, MD, puts a twist on the old saying: "teach what you know." Instead, he treats what he knows.
Smith has epilepsy, and he also is a neurologist specializing in treating this condition.
He chats with Barbara Lewis about his diagnosis and why it spurred him to treat others with the same condition.
Dr. Brien Smith is Chief of Neurology at Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids. He's also chair of the Epilepsy Foundation.
