**Accepting New Patients**
Dr. Smith received his medical training from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Before that, he completed a master’s degree in New York City where his research focused on epigenetics and neuroscience. Dr. Smith has previously filled roles in the biotechnology and medical devices sector and various community organizations.
He is passionate about supporting the health and wellness of patients of all ages, across the lifespan and throughout generations. He believes that, when possible, healing is best achieved on the family level as family members can support each other in their healing journeys. When possible, he loves incorporating genealogy and family health history into his patient care, providing additional insights into individual and family health.
Before coming to Natura, he practiced at Focused Family Integrative Medicine in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He continues to care for Idaho-based patients via telemedicine.
In his free time, Dr. Smith enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, cooking and baking, and making music, including singing and playing the piano, violin, and guitar.
