Kindra Smith, MD

Kindra Smith is the chief medical officer at R-Health Voorhees in Voorhees Township. Rather than directing clinicians in the traditional top-down sense, she supports a team of medical advisers and healthcare professionals who already work well independently. Much of her role comes down to making sure the practice's broader decisions line up with the kind of care experience patients actually want.

Before moving into that position, she built a high-volume practice from the ground up in partnership with others. That work shaped how she approaches her current role, since delivering excellent care and real patient comfort is something she worked hard toward as a physician long before she started shaping decisions from the top.
