Willis Knighton Louisiana Family Practice

About Me

After high school graduation in Bossier City, Dr. Smith pursued a degree in biology at LSU, where he played offensive lineman as part of the 2007 National Championship team. He went to medical school in Louisiana but moved to Texas for his residency in family medicine. Following his residency, he and his family wanted to return to Louisiana, so he joined the Willis-Knighton Physician Network, first practicing in Haughton.  When not taking care of patients, Dr. Smith enjoys spending time with his family. Outdoor activities are a big part of his life, whether on the water or in the woods, playing football, exercising, or grilling for family and friends.
