Jordan Smith Anesthesiologist

Boca Raton, Florida, is where the story starts. It's where Jordan Smith Anesthesiologist was born, and it's where he was diagnosed with leukemia as a child. That diagnosis is the reason he became a physician. Decades later, he's a board-certified anesthesiologist and healthcare entrepreneur whose career sits at the intersection of clinical medicine and business ownership, and when he's asked to name his proudest milestone, he skips the awards and the titles. What he names is coming full circle from his own cancer experience to become a board-certified anesthesiologist. The through line shows up in how he talks about his work and in where he has chosen to give his time. Nobody handed him a path into medicine. The map of his working life covers two states. He practices as a locums anesthesiologist across Florida and New York while owning and operating multiple healthcare companies, so his professional life runs on two tracks at once. Colleagues point to a straightforward clinical approach, and to the entrepreneurial streak behind the healthcare ventures he has launched and led in two states. His undergraduate degrees came from the University of Florida. For medical school he went to Florida Atlantic University, earning his MD from the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine. Anesthesiology training then spread across three programs, at Florida Atlantic University, New York University, and Larkin Community Hospital. That's an unusually broad training footprint for one physician, and it exposed him to academic, community, and high-volume urban practice environments in both Florida and New York. In 2024 he earned certification from the American Board of Anesthesiology. His active medical licenses cover Florida, New York, and California, and his professional memberships include the American Medical Association and the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Locums is the model he practices under, which has him working across multiple facilities and regions rather than in a single fixed setting. For a physician who wanted his clinical craft to stay central while he built something alongside it, the arrangement fits. The something is a set of healthcare companies he owns and operates. City Surgical of Manhattan, a surgery center in New York City, is his. The IV Pro, an intravenous therapy business serving South Florida, he founded. Both are healthcare businesses, which was the intent rather than the accident. Deliberately, Dr. Jordan Smith, MD, has kept his companies inside the field he trained in instead of diversifying away from it, and rather than framing medicine and business as a choice, he describes his working identity as a hybrid of the two. It's a less common combination than it sounds. Hospital systems and single-specialty groups are where most anesthesiologists build their careers. Jordan Benjamin Smith paired clinical work with ownership, so any given week of his can move between the operating room and the operational side of running healthcare facilities and services. Asked about stepping back from the clinical side, he's answered plainly. He enjoys the craft, and trading it for a purely administrative role isn't something he wants. That he still practices reflects it. A few honors mark his academic and clinical training. In 2010 he was named an Anderson Scholar with Distinction. In 2015 he received the David L. Wulkan Scholarship. In 2016, at the FAU Medical Student and Resident Research and Scholarship Day, his entry took second place in the clinical vignette poster competition. Where his attention went after that, he's candid about: clinical and entrepreneurial rather than academic. A research-heavy path wasn't what he pursued. Practicing anesthesiology and building healthcare companies was, and he considers his board certification and the businesses he's created the more meaningful measures of his work. The causes that have drawn his time connect back to his own history. High school and college both included volunteer time with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, an organization devoted to blood cancer research, patient support, and advocacy. The connection there is personal, because the disease he volunteered against is the one he survived as a child. A second commitment came during college, with the Child Life Program at the University of Florida. A program like that supports pediatric patients and their families during a hospital stay and helps kids make sense of medical procedures and get through them. Coming back to that environment from the other side, as a former pediatric cancer patient turned volunteer, happened years before he set foot in medical school. All of it predates his clinical career and helps explain it. Cancer patients and hospitalized children were part of his life as a teenager and as an undergraduate, at a point when none of it counted toward a medical school application. When he's not working in medicine or business, he's a dedicated weight lifter and a regular at sporting events. He collects sports cards and has kept the hobby up for years, and much of his free time goes to friends and family. Born in Florida and a Floridian for life, he ranks his University of Florida years among the most formative he's had. College football, for him, is a genuine enthusiasm rather than a passing one. Jordan Benjamin Smith, MD, continues to practice as a board-certified anesthesiologist while growing City Surgical of Manhattan and The IV Pro. His focus remains where it's been since he finished training, on delivering anesthesia care and building healthcare businesses that extend what a single physician can reach. A childhood leukemia diagnosis and the decision it prompted started this career, and everything since has continued a path he chose early and never stepped away from.
