Submitted by Judy Hanning on Mon, 2016-06-06 11:45

Many dyslexics believe themselves to be dumb because they cannot keep up with their classmates.

As this video describes, he has developed a new technique that saves hundreds of lives every year.

Epstein strives to provide quality neurological treatment for children suffering from tumors and other maladies. His research on brain tumors and dyslexia has led to new techniques that allow for many brain tumors to be safely removed from children. Previously, many of these children had to resign themselves to their fate. In an interview with Barry Farber, Dr. Fred Epstein goes into detail about his work and experiences in the medical field.
