Why Dr. Smith went into medicine
“Growing up, my father was our town's only doctor. This gave me my initial interest in pursuing a medical career of my own.”

Favorite advice to give patients
“My favorite advice to patients is to be their own best advocate. Another piece of advice I like to give is when attempting to make lifestyle changes, take small steps toward the goal rather than trying to make a radical change overnight.”

Hobbies
“Outside of medicine, I love spending time with my husband and daughter. I enjoy reading and doing outdoor activities such as roller blading, hiking, skiing and snow shoeing. The three of us also love to travel.”
