Sakima Smith, MD
About
I am a heart-failure transplant cardiologist, and I believe that the gift of life is truly amazing. I am particularly interested in working with patients that are critically ill and working together towards improving their quality of life.
I am a firm believer in providing individualized care to my patients. I take this approach in the clinic and when I'm designing new translational research projects.
I enjoy working at a large academic medical center such as The Ohio State University because I am able to interact with world leaders in different fields of study. I am constantly provided with opportunities to be educationally engaged.
In my free time I enjoy playing basketball, spending time with my family, traveling and attending Ohio State football games.
