Meet Dr. Justin Smith
Ask any new parent; their elation with the arrival of a newborn is often accompanied by being overwhelmed with... well... everything.
For Justin Smith, M.D., this is one of the most important parts of being a pediatrician. "Taking parents from being overwhelmed, curious and needing lots of information, to being comfortable, educated and confident, leads to better health," says Dr. Smith. "With every childhood issue I take a cooperative approach, I educate them, I present the options, I empower them with choice and let them decide." Dr. Smith knew he was going to be a pediatrician early. In fact, he told his third grade teacher that was his intent.
Today he knows parenting and dealing with sick children from both professional and personal perspectives. He and his wife have three children. "The second I mention my own family, it gives parents know that I'm speaking not only as a doctor, but from the shared experience of being a parent."
Were he not in medicine, he says he'd have become a sports anchor covering college and NBA basketball. "But," he says, "I became a pediatrician, covering the latest moves in pediatric care."
And cover it he does. You can tell that he loves what he does, loves his patients, and wants to do anything else, when you read his blogs on Cook Children's Checkup Newsroom website. He covers everything from potty training to childhood fevers. His writing style is concise, friendly and practical and definitely is written by a parent.
Dr. Smith and his office staff are wonderful. We appreciate him so much, he goes above and beyond answering emails after hours and on the weekend. Seriously couldn't ask for a better pcp for my kids. – Patient family

We've never had a bad visit w/ Dr. Smith or his staff at all and we love coming there. On this particular visit, I just wanted to make sure to thank Dr. Smith for how kind & helpful he was. While my husband and I were trying to figure out if we wanted Dr. Smith to mask or not for our son (because we do w/ our daughter due to a medical condition), he jumped right up and offered to do it anyway, and that was just one less decision we had to make that day & it helped make the visit even easier so we just wanted to say how much we appreciate that kindness! :) We will never stop recommending this practice & Dr. Smith and his staff.
