Dr. Smith received his medical degree from Temple University, Philadelphia, Pa. He also completed his residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation and fellowship in interventional pain management at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, Richmond, Va.

“Pain is debilitating and as care providers, we never want to see our patients in pain,” says Dr. Smith. “My goal is to work with my patients to understand how and why they are feeling pain, and develop a treatment plan to manage their pain and restore their quality of life.”
