Meet Dr. Ryan Smith
Dr. Ryan Smith, a lifelong Texan, received his undergraduate degree from Abilene Christian University and his medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. He completed his residency in pediatrics from UTSW/Children's Medical Center in Dallas and worked as a pediatric hospitalist for 2 years before starting his anesthesiology residency and pediatric anesthesia fellowship training, also at UTSW. Dr. Smith is board certified in both general anesthesia and pediatric anesthesia. He was in private practice for more than 12 years in north Texas and briefly served as the medical director for Cook Children's Pediatric Surgery Center in Prosper before joining our team full time at Cook.
Dr. Smith loves his work, but when he isn't here, you can find him chasing trout around in a Colorado stream or deer around in west central Texas. If he's not there, he's in his kitchen, or at one of his 3 kids' athletic events. He lives in east Dallas with his wife Kamilia, also a physician, and their 3 children.
