Dr. Smith is a fellowship-trained Interventional Pain Physician and earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Houston and a Doctor of Medicine degree from the Ohio State University College of Medicine. He completed his residency training in anesthesiology at the University of Texas McGovern Medical School in Houston and a fellowship in interventional pain management at Emory University in Atlanta, GA.

Dr. Smith uses multimodal pain management techniques to help patients improve the quality of their lives. He believes that finding the correct treatment options, in balance with the patient’s day-to-day activities,  will allow his patients to recover faster. When pain is treated properly it no longer becomes the focus that limits life’s potential.
