Meet Dr. Jonathan Smith
Choosing a Chiropractic Career
Dr. Jonathan Smith grew up in Chattanooga, TN and was in the United States Marine Corps. He was encouraged to become a chiropractor after suffering a severe low back injury in 1998 and has taken many lessons from great and poor healthcare experiences during his initial recovery.
At one point in his life, Dr. Smith did not have insurance but had a major injury requiring emergent medical intervention. When the attending surgeon saw him in the ER, and realized he didn’t have insurance, the surgeon asked him a life changing question. Dr. Smith was asked if he wanted to do the cheap way, quick closure with no true intervention or the expensive way, requiring exploratory surgery followed by closure of the wound. This moment of choosing between getting better or getting out cheap planted the seed of how he would come to treat his patients.
Dr. Smith has taken this moment, and extrapolated this experience into what he believes is a positive affirmation for his patients. Dr. Smith’s purpose is to provide the most optimal experience, by utilizing up to date treatments, modalities, and clinical expertise. He is passionate in his belief that we are here to serve and love one another.
Education
Dr. Smith completed his undergraduate work at Middle Tennessee State, then went on for his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Cleveland Chiropractic. He graduated in 2006 and has been fortunate enough to work with highly knowledgeable doctors and receive mentorship that has made him the doctor he is today. He has practiced in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, the D.C. area, New Mexico, and is licensed in Florida.
