Jordan Smith Anesthesiologist

Two businesses carry Jordan Smith Anesthesiologist name in two different states. City Surgical of Manhattan, a surgery center in New York City, belongs to him. The IV Pro, an intravenous therapy business serving South Florida, was founded by him. Neither venture pulled him out of the operating room. Dr. Jordan Smith, MD, is a board-certified anesthesiologist and healthcare entrepreneur whose career sits at the intersection of clinical medicine and business ownership, and he has kept both halves running rather than choosing between them. He describes his working identity as a hybrid of medicine and business, and the deliberate part is that his companies sit inside the field he trained in rather than diversifying away from it.

A hospital system or a single-specialty group is where most anesthesiologists build a career. Ownership alongside clinical practice is a rarer arrangement than it sounds, and it gives his week an unusual shape, moving between the operating room and the operational side of running healthcare facilities and services. Asked about it, he's been blunt. The craft is something he enjoys, and a purely administrative role isn't a trade he wants to make. His continued clinical practice is the evidence.

That practice runs on a locums basis, which means multiple facilities and regions rather than one fixed setting, across Florida and New York. The model suits a physician who wanted to keep his clinical craft central while building something alongside it. Colleagues tend to describe a straightforward clinical approach, paired with an entrepreneurial streak that has him launching and leading healthcare ventures in two states. A professional life running on two tracks at once is, for him, the point rather than the compromise.

None of this was inherited. What set the direction was a childhood cancer diagnosis that put him on the patient's side of the operating room long before he ever stood on the physician's side of it. Born in Boca Raton, Florida, Jordan Benjamin Smith was diagnosed with leukemia as a child, and that experience is the reason he became a physician. The milestone he names as his proudest isn't an award or a title. It's that he came full circle from his own cancer experience to become a board-certified anesthesiologist. That through line surfaces in how he talks about his work and in where he has chosen to give his time.

Undergraduate degrees came from the University of Florida. Medical school followed at Florida Atlantic University, where he earned his MD from the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine. Anesthesiology training then took him through three programs, at Florida Atlantic University, New York University, and Larkin Community Hospital. Training across that many programs is an unusually broad footprint, and it put him in academic, community, and high-volume urban practice environments in both Florida and New York.

Board certification from the American Board of Anesthesiology came in 2024. Active medical licenses in Florida, New York, and California cover the states where he works, and he maintains membership in the American Medical Association and the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

Training brought a handful of honors. The Anderson Scholar with Distinction designation came in 2010. The David L. Wulkan Scholarship followed in 2015. In 2016, at the FAU Medical Student and Resident Research and Scholarship Day, he took second place in the clinical vignette poster competition.

He doesn't oversell any of it. His focus, by his own account, has been clinical and entrepreneurial rather than academic, and instead of pursuing a research-heavy path he concentrated on practicing anesthesiology and building healthcare companies. Board certification and the businesses he created are what he considers the more meaningful measures of his work.

The causes he has given time to trace back to what he lived through. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, devoted to blood cancer research, patient support, and advocacy, had him as a volunteer across high school and college. The disease he volunteered against is the one he survived as a child, so the connection is personal rather than abstract.

College brought a second volunteer commitment, this one with the Child Life Program at the University of Florida. Such programs support pediatric patients and their families through hospitalization and help children understand and cope with medical procedures. A former pediatric cancer patient returning to that environment as a volunteer is a reversal of roles, and it came years before he set foot in medical school.

Read together, this history predates his clinical career and helps explain it. As a teenager and then as an undergraduate, he was already working with cancer patients and hospitalized children, well before any of it counted toward a medical school application.
