The Christ Hospital Physicians - Primary Care
Benjamin Smith, MD, is a board-certified physician with The Christ Hospital Physicians - Primary Care who specializes in family medicine. He provides care to patients of all ages at the Fort Wright location.
Dr. Smith comes from a family of providers, with both of his parents and his grandmother having long careers in medicine, which inspired him to do the same. Their approach to helping others with honest and open empathy helped to shape my attitude toward my community and influenced me to pursue a career in medicine, he says. His philosophy toward providing care centers on treating his patients as he would expect himself or his family members to be treated. He values empathizing with his patients and taking a thoughtful approach to working with them to determine the right care for their needs.
He earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology at The University of Kentucky and his Medical Degree from American University of the Caribbean. He completed a Family and Community Medicine Residency at the University of Kentucky. Dr. Smith is board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine and is a member of the American Academy of Family Medicine and the Kentucky Academy of Family Physicians.
Family continues to play a major role in Dr. Smith's life, and he spends much of his free time with his wife and young family. He also enjoys sports, music, and spending time outdoors with activities such as kayaking, hiking, and cycling.

Dr Smith really listens and takes time to address my concerns
I have lost 143 pounds and was told by the provider that because my blood sugar was high that was the reason [...]
I do recommend him often.
Dr Smith is caring, thorough, and professional.
Some introduced me to this doctor last year and it was a great recommendation. I really like the doctor, his questions, his explanation, and he doesn't feel pushy or rushed.
