Taylor Drew Smith MSPH, PA-C

As a native of Idaho Falls, Taylor is excited to practice in this wonderful town and serve the community that gave so much to him in his youth. He became interested in healthcare at a very young age after having the opportunity to work at his grandfather’s pharmacy in Idaho Falls, Eastgate Drug. Taylor finds great satisfaction in building trusting and lasting relationships with those he sees, and finds the most joy when medical decisions can be shared between the patient and provider.

Taylor attended Idaho State University for his undergraduate degree where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish Language and Literature while completing prerequisite courses for his post graduate education. He then attended Campbell University in North Carolina where he participated in a dual-degree program, earning his Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) and Master of Physician Assistant Practice (MPAP) degrees. Taylor is credentialed as a certified Physician Assistant, (PA-C) through the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA). He has also completed Certified Training in Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Taylor loves being a part of the healthcare team at The Healing Sanctuary and working with the integrative medical approach they provide. Taylor believes that health is so much more than just physical wellness, and includes emotional, social, spiritual, and communal well-being as well.

In his spare time, he enjoys spending time outdoors, seeing new places, learning new hobbies, and treasures any time he gets to be with his dear wife and family.
