Dr. Smith has a wide range of experience in the following surgical procedures: bariatric, colonoscopy, colorectal, hernia, breast, appendix, gallbladder, surgical oncology and thyroid.
He and his staff are committed to compassionate patient care and understand the challenges of taking time off work to attend doctor’s appointments. This is what led him to offer Saturday consultations. He is the Medical Director for Wise Health System’s East Campus which is accredited by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program which is a nationally recognized accreditation for bariatric centers recognizing their commitment to quality of care, standards of practice, and excellent patient outcomes.
