Smith, Marisa, Danielle, PA

A fascination for science and deep interest in the ever growing world of medicine motivated me to become a physician assistant. The vast medical field, innumerable cures, the positive and satisfying outcome after treating the patients and the stimulation of striving for better results is what I found most appealing in the field of medicine. My approach to patient care includes treating them with respect, providing excellent medical care and helping my patients achieve a good quality of life. Additionally, I believe in educating patients to provide a better understanding of their health conditions and treatment options. This helps the provider and patient work as a team to benefit the patient’s involvement in managing their healthcare. My areas of special interest include acute and chronic care, preventative medicine, women's health and diabetes management. Outside of work, I like to spend time with family and friends.
