Meet our team At Tongass Veterinary Services

MS, DVM

Dr. Smith grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He attended Colorado State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science, a Master’s degree in Biomedical Science, and finally his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Smith is a fourth-generation graduate of CSU and the third to be a veterinarian.

Upon graduation, Dr. Smith started practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico at an equine referral hospital. This experience formed the foundation of his current practice.

After practicing in New Mexico, the Smiths headed to Alaska. Dr. Smith started work in Juneau and opened Smith Equine in 2011. Smith Equine was a full-service ambulatory horse practice serving all of southeast Alaska. As time passed the need for another veterinary practice in the area was apparent and Dr. Smith decided to open a full-service small animal hospital. In the summer of 2013, Tongass Veterinary Services hit the ground running.

Dr. Smith has special interests in orthopedic surgery and dentistry. He enjoys golfing, warm weather, boating, and fishing with his family when not working.

Megan is our Office Manager, but is skilled and utilized in all areas of the hospital and is a key member of our team. She also assists Dr Smith with our equine patients. Megan has a horse named Brooks as well as two labrador retrievers, Niko and Tsunami.
