Leslie Smith, MD

Background

The reason I became a doctor was shaped by a challenging experience with the healthcare system. My doctor at the time encouraged me to go to medical school to make impactful changes in how care is rendered. He said, “who better to make changes than someone who has lived through it and has seen the flaws in our current system.”

Life and Hobbies
