Specialties: Dr. Smith offers a novel approach to the diagnosis of medical problems. Today the MRI scan and the OCT scan have become the virtual autopsy. Electrodiagnostic techniques are available which make the physical exam much less useful in establishing a correct diagnosis. The internet and various other modes of communication have created the possibility of investigating an illness in the same way a detective investigates a crime.
