Dr. Courtney Smock

Returning to Indiana, she worked several years handling the Emergency Room at Blue Pearl in Louisville. Her primary interests are soft tissue surgery, wound management, and general medicine. She moonlights as devoted servant to two cats, and when they are fully satisfied (which is rare), you might find her enjoying a walk outdoors, playing board games with friends, or binge-watching Adventure Time.

Outside of medicine, he enjoys cycling, playing guitar, Building Stuff, retro video games, and spending time with The Wife (Dr. Smock).
