About Jordana Smith, M.D.
Welcome! Our mission in Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus is to provide all of our patients and their families with consistently excellent, thoughtful, and compassionate care. Our team, including eye providers and physicians-in-training, is ready for the challenges providing management of pediatric eye disease and ocular misalignment present. From educating a family on the nature of their child's eye condition, to performing eye surgery, to imparting knowledge to the next generation of physicians, my job provides daily challenges and rewards. It is an honor to be entrusted with the medical and surgical care of my patients.
Dr. Smith is an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at ÇÑ×ÓÖ±²¥ Medicine. Her practice interests include pediatric strabismus, pediatric anterior segment and cataract, retinopathy of prematurity, and care of complex medical pediatric patients including those with oncologic and genetic conditions.
