About Me:

I grew up in Silverton, OR and after serving in the Air Force I have the unique honor to return home and serve this community. Medicine is a calling, my calling, and it is amazing how scientific advancements like vaccines, immunotherapy, bedside ultrasound and countless more have made it possible to improve lives. I look forward as science continues to discover how the mind-body connection plays an integral role in health and wellbeing. I believe that health can best thrive in a partnership between physician and patient when each person is held accountable. Where physicians are expected to use best evidenced based medicine to achieve outcomes that matter to the patient and where patients are expected to take control of their own health. Most of my free time is spent learning what it means to be an amateur homesteader on my 36-acre farm with my husband and two boys. But there is always time for yoga.

There's one receptionist in particular that was extremely rude and made me feel like my health and concerns did not matter to her whatsoever.

This was my first visit with Dr. Smith as my new PCP. I was satisfied with my reception. She did request a test be done when my oncologist did blood work later in the week; it was accomplished. I appreciate the Legacy connection between my caregivers.

Dr. Smith and her staff are always professional, straight forward with me and extremely communicative. My prior provider at Salem Health was highly engaged with me and I was happy to be able to find the same sort of care as well at Legacy. Though I live closer to Salem, I have always been treated well by Legacy and Dr. Smith as well as her staff that it makes it more than worthwhile for me to drive north to Mt. Angel! Extremely satisfied with the level of care I receive and will recommend her to those I know :)

The office atmosphere was very positive. The doctors assistant was thorough and reviewing the medication. I received two shots and a blood draw completely painless. Dr. SMITH reviewed my conditions with me reviewed the web results and determined that some ultrasounds and experience, or I need it. She made a referral to Silverton labs for the testing. Some of the test were in preparation for upcoming surgeries. Dr. SMITH was engaged in my health issues, and paid attention to what I said addressed on my issues. Dr. Smith did not seem that rushed gave me her full attention, and I answered all my questions

The front office staff were courteous and efficient and I barely had a chance to sit down before being called back to the exam room. They were right on top of things. When in seeing Dr. Smith, she displayed empathy and showed that she understood my concerns. Her active listening skills should be studied by other doctors.

I am brand new patient. On Medicare now and took the opportunity to move away from Kaiser. Dr Smith was so much more thorough than any experience with Kaiser. Set up prescriptions, PT to support back issues, mammogram, vaccinations, bone density scan. Excellent attention to my needs as a brand new patient.

Do not understand the resistance to continue the drug regimen I was on for almost a decade for anxiety disorder and insomnia. It has been successful & without incident and enables me to have a life. I am self-aware enough to know what does/does not work for me. I also would recognize any addiction triggers having been in recovery for 34 years.

Dr. Smith carefully removed seven staples from the back of my head. She apologized as she cut and pulled the staples which had been put in during an urgent care visit to the hospital. I also asked her about a swelling on my leg which she checked. She and her assistant Jessica make an efficient team.
