About Jordan Smith Anesthesiologist
Anesthesiologist and Entrepreneur
The American Board of Anesthesiology certified Jordan Benjamin Smith, MD, in 2024. He carries active medical licenses in Florida, New York, and California, and he belongs to the American Medical Association and the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Those credentials describe one half of a career. The other half is ownership: he owns and operates multiple healthcare companies while practicing as a locums anesthesiologist across Florida and New York. Board-certified anesthesiologist and healthcare entrepreneur are both accurate, and his career sits at the intersection of clinical medicine and business ownership rather than on either side of it.
Where He Trained
Three anesthesiology programs contributed to his training: Florida Atlantic University, New York University, and Larkin Community Hospital. Training that spans that many institutions is an unusually broad footprint, and the practical effect was exposure to academic, community, and high-volume urban practice environments in both Florida and New York.
Before that came medical school at Florida Atlantic University, where his MD was awarded by the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine. Before that, the University of Florida, where he completed his undergraduate degrees.
Honors picked up along the way include the Anderson Scholar with Distinction designation in 2010 and the David L. Wulkan Scholarship in 2015. At the FAU Medical Student and Resident Research and Scholarship Day in 2016, he took second place in the clinical vignette poster competition.
About the shape of his focus he's candid. It's been clinical and entrepreneurial, not academic. A research-heavy path wasn't the one he chose. He concentrated on practicing anesthesiology and building healthcare companies, and he treats his board certification and the businesses he's created as the more meaningful measures of his work.
The Clinical Half
Jordan Smith Anesthesiologist works on a locums basis, a model that has him practicing across multiple facilities and regions rather than in a single fixed setting. That structure was a fit for a physician who wanted his clinical craft to stay central while he built something alongside it. Colleagues know him for a straightforward clinical approach.
The Ownership Half
The something he built is a set of healthcare companies. He owns City Surgical of Manhattan, a surgery center in New York City, and he founded The IV Pro, an intravenous therapy business serving South Florida. By design, both sit squarely inside healthcare. Building inside the field he trained in, rather than diversifying away from it, has been a deliberate call for Dr. Jordan Smith, MD, who calls his working identity a hybrid of medicine and business instead of a choice between the two. The entrepreneurial streak his colleagues recognize is what led him to launch and lead healthcare ventures in two states.
The pairing is less common than it sounds. Careers for most anesthesiologists take shape inside hospital systems or single-specialty groups. His runs on two tracks at once, which means a week can move between the operating room and the operational side of running healthcare facilities and services. On that question he's been direct. He enjoys his craft, swapping it for a purely administrative role doesn't interest him, and the fact that he still practices bears it out.
The Reason Behind It
A credentials list doesn't explain why he entered medicine. His path into it wasn't an inherited one. A childhood cancer diagnosis shaped it, one that put him on the patient's side of the operating room long before he ever stood on the physician's side of it. Boca Raton, Florida, is his birthplace, and leukemia was diagnosed there when he was a child, which is why he went into medicine.
Which is why the milestone he's proudest of isn't an award or a title. He has described it as coming full circle from his own cancer experience to become a board-certified anesthesiologist. You can see the through line in how he describes his work and in the places he's chosen to give his time.
Time Given
Both of his volunteer commitments connect to that history. His high school and college years included volunteering for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, a group focused on blood cancer research, patient support, and advocacy. The disease he volunteered against is the one he survived as a child, which makes the connection personal.
During college he also volunteered with the Child Life Program at the University of Florida. A child life program's job is to support pediatric patients and their families during hospitalization, and to help kids understand and cope with medical procedures. Having been a pediatric cancer patient himself, he was walking back into the same environment from the opposite side, years ahead of ever setting foot in medical school.
That volunteer record came before the clinical career and goes some way toward explaining it. As a teenager and an undergraduate, he was already working with cancer patients and hospitalized children, well before any of it counted toward a medical school application.
Outside the Two Halves
Weight lifting is a dedicated pursuit for him, and he's a regular at sporting events. Sports card collecting is a hobby he's kept up for years. Much of his free time goes to friends and family. He's a lifelong Floridian by birth who counts the University of Florida years among the most formative of his life, and college football holds up for him as a genuine enthusiasm rather than a passing one.
Current Focus
He continues to practice as a board-certified anesthesiologist while growing City Surgical of Manhattan and The IV Pro. Since he finished training, the focus has held steady: delivering anesthesia care and building healthcare businesses that extend what a single physician can reach. The career opened with a childhood leukemia diagnosis and the choice it prompted, and what he does today carries on a path he settled on early and hasn't abandoned.
