Knowledgeable, clear communication, friendly, kept my daughter calm and as comfortable as could be under the circumstances. All of the staff we interacted with were helpful and friendly, from the front desk to the technician to the nurse to the doctor himself.

Dr. Douglas Smith, M.D., is a pediatric epileptologist at Minnesota Epilepsy Group.
Dr. Smith graduated from The College of New Jersey before attending New Jersey Medical School. He completed his pediatrics residency at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and his child neurology residency at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he also completed his fellowship.
Dr. Smith’s areas of expertise and interest include genetic epilepsy, neonatal epilepsy, metabolic and mitochondrial epilepsy, tuberous sclerosis, and gene therapy. Outside of medicine, Dr. Smith enjoys exploring state parks with his daughter, where they both like to discover all the birds, insects, mushrooms, and flora that Minnesota has to offer.
Dr. Smith encourages patient and parent participation in the decision-making process when it comes to care. “There rarely is a single right answer in epilepsy care – the brain is just too complicated! My goal is to ensure every patient understands the reasoning behind the decisions I am recommending.”
Dr. Smith has been published in journals such as Neurology, Journal of Child Neurology, Neurotherapeutics, Human Mutation, and Epilepsy Research. He frequently lectures for the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota and the Dravet Syndrome Foundation.
