Trisha Ann Smith, FNP

Patient care involves listening to the concerns of the patient. As the physician, I serve as a guide to inform the patient on the best options for the patient. The provider needs to be both knowledgeable and available to provide effective care.

As a physician my commitment is to improve the quality of life of people living with chronic diseases. As the phrase says “Knowledge is power" by Francis Bacon, I believe that educating and provide accurate information to the patients is essential to be able to make a shared decision to help and improve the patient conditions.

My approach to care is involved around empowering my patients. I do this by placing an emphasis on patient education, patient counseling, and shared decision making. ng relationship is the foundation of my practice.
