About Brandon A. Smith
Brandon Smith, PA-C, first became fascinated by the heart when working a variety of hospital jobs as an EMT and then as an EKG tech, where he had the opportunity to learn from ER physicians and cardiologists in a regional specialty center (Heart Institute). After seeing the difference that could be made for patients, he pursued higher education with the intent to practice in cardiology. After completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at the University of Utah, Brandon then earned his MMSc at Mercer University in Atlanta, GA in 2020. He is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants. He practices in the outpatient clinic setting and likes a focus on preventative medicine and patient education in that setting. He continues to be fascinated by the electrical and mechanical systems of the heart, and appreciates the ongoing improvements in treatment made possible by research. Raised outside Seattle, WA, he returned to the broad Pacific Northwest to practice medicine. In his free time he enjoys reading, board games, and cycling.

The PA was very thorough and friendly. Spent ample time with me explaining the meds and what the future looked like. We discussed diet and made me feel like an individual, not just the next body in a long line.

He went through my charts before seeing me. He was the first provider since my medical emergencies, who carefully explained my conditions and what my future looks like. This was my first visit with Brandon. It was great having a conversation with a provider who did not rush me. I had my questions answered, and I feel confident in the care Brandon provided.

Providence Patient
Brandon was very knowledgable, professional, and courteous.
Providence Patient
My provider gave me some very good information about my condition and as a result we agreed on expanding my prescription regimen to help with a problem that comes from or is a result of my heart difficulties. As it was not something I had been specifically treated for in the past I was very happy to see what could be done with it. The rest of the visit was thorough and dealt with clear and direct questioning that showed my provider was truly interested in my health and well-being. I was, by the time I left, very enthusiastic about my healthcare.(For the first time in a while).
Providence Patient
Brandon is a fountain of knowledge and unafraid to explain things in detail. He is top notch.The practice as a whole, communication, appointments, finding out who is who and what actual department they are in is utter chaos.My overall opinion of Providence has dropped precipitously in the last 15 months.

Providence Patient
I found Brandon Smith to be one of the most engaged practitioners I have seen in some time. He's very intelligent, listening to my concerns, recent unusual issue with a low grade fever, pulmonary difficulty and after reviewing my med list; instituted a course change in taking Carvedilol to taper off it all together. Brandon seems to love what he does, isn't burnt out with his career choice or caught up in administrative roles. He was a breath of fresh air and I look forward to working with him in the future. Brandon didn't see me as an elderly woman not deserving of his time or expertise.
Providence Patient
