Daphne Smith, PNP-PC

My favorite character is Scooby Doo.

Meet Addy was a book that help start my love of reading. It told a story that is significant to American history.

I love Barbie! I normally wear pink scrubs with Barbie accessories in clinic.

Sojourner Truth is one of my greatest inspirations. She courageously overcame hardships and was a symbol of faith and perseverance.

Traveling to Latin American countries, staycations in fancy hotels, and trying new restaurants in the area.

I love interacting with children. Their energy, honesty, and resilience is inspiring. I find it meaningful to support children through their growth and challenges.

I pride myself on making sure all of my patient have a great experience. I make sure they are comfortable by getting on their level and communicate directly with them. I carry a bubble blower in clinic and we often blow bubbles to celebrate their birthdays or them being brave during the visit. I make the visits very interactive. I allow them to touch my tools so that they can be comfortable. I wear Barbie themed clothing and give away stickers to all of my patients. Many of my girlie patients always ask for the Barbie stickers. I treat my patients as if they were my own children.

I create a calm sensory-friendly setting. I make it a priority to individualize care for special needs patient and adjust the visit as needed. I create a supportive environment for both the patient and parent
