Overview

My primary goal as a physician is to provide excellent care to patients with epilepsy. I have a background in mathematics. We live in a time where technology has an major influence on our lives. While I am very interested in helping influence this, there is something about people listening to people that cannot be duplicated. Much of my current work focuses on veterans, and it is with much gratitude that I do this.

I am currently the chief of the division of Epilepsy, Sleep, and Clinical Neurophysiology. I see epilepsy patients and patients with sleep disorders. The epilepsy patients that I see often have a hard time controlling their seizures or have other epilepsy-related problems. At Duke, we have many options, including clinical trials, advanced medications, and surgical options, that we can offer patients to get them to a better quality of life with fewer or no seizures. In sleep disorders, I see many patients with sleep apnea and have a passion for treating individuals with narcolepsy. My philosophy is that I want patients to be aware of all the different treatment options that they have available this them. Together, we come up with what I, the patient, and the family think is the best approach for the individual. This way, we can individualize the treatment for each person. It is very gratifying for me to see patients doing so much better with the appropriate medications and pursuing the dreams they have and doing the things they really want to do. Dr. Husain is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Seizures. His top areas of expertise are Seizures, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure, Microvascular Decompression, and Spinal Fusion.
