Charles Smoak, MD

Helping children realize their full potential in life, especially regarding their health, is something I desire for all my patients.

My family members, who were pediatricians, encouraged me to pursue medicine. I have a natural interest in science and wanted a career that helped others.

I am board certified in pediatrics. I enjoy forming relationships with families over time, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing a young family gain confidence in the care of their children.

I received my medical degree at Duke University and completed residency at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

My wife and I have five children, including a daughter with Down syndrome. I am very involved in church, where I serve as an elder and choir director. I love to hike and get out in nature. My family enjoys movies and music, and all of my children play the violin or the piano. We also like to exercise together and have a full-fledged ninja warrior course in our backyard.
