Tiffany Smith, PA-C

"I collaborate with patients to bring them optimal wellness by combining conventional, alternative, or integrative therapies while emphasizing nutrition and fitness."

Tiffany Smith studied pre-medicine at Fairmont State University before graduating Magna Cum Laude from Mountain State University in Beckley, West Virginia with a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies in 2007.  For the past sixteen years she has provided high quality healthcare to the greater Louisville area, which she now proudly considers home.

 

With experience in primary care, urgent care and integrative treatments, she has the unique and extensive experience that places her in a position to bring this distinctive health and wellness approach to Louisville. Frustrated by the current healthcare system, she brought together a team of compassionate, dedicated providers focused on identifying and addressing the cause of illness rather than merely treating the physical symptoms. The integrative approach allows her to continue her passion of delivering high quality healthcare to our community without regulatory interruption.

In her spare time, she enjoys sports, gardening, travel and spending time with family and friends.
