Overview

I came to Duke for medical school in 1981, remained here for all of my training, and joined the faculty in 1991. I enjoy participating in the care of patients in all phases of kidney disease. I have a special interest in kidney transplantation, and I particularly value the opportunity to see the same patient over time.

Dr. Smith is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Nephrosclerosis. His top areas of expertise are End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Chronic Kidney Disease, Acute Kidney Failure, and Renovascular Hypertension.
