🌟 Meet Arkansas Children’s Northwest pediatric sports medicine physician Dr. Jacob Smith. 🌟
Born and raised in northeast Arkansas, Dr. Smith grew up playing baseball and continues to make the sport a big part of his life. Outside of medicine, he enjoys traveling, spending time with family and supporting his charity that builds baseball infrastructure in Latin America.
Dr. Smith chose sports medicine because he wanted to help young athletes get back to doing what they love. At Arkansas Children’s, he works with active kids and teens to treat injuries and pain, determine when it’s safe to return to play and help families understand when imaging, therapy or additional time is needed.
