Originally from Clifton Park, NY, Dr. Emma Smith is a resident physician at Albany Family Medicine in Albany, NY. As an undergrad, she attended SUNY Geneseo in Geneseo, NY, followed by SUNY Upstate Medical School in Syracuse, NY. Being able to serve the community she grew up in is one of the reasons she was drawn to family medicine, as it allows physicians like herself to be integral members of the community in which they are part. After being an avid sports player her whole life, Dr. Smith is interested in sports medicine, as well as adolescent medicine. Outside of medicine, she finds solace in reading non-medical books. She is a proud dog mom to Leo, a Havanese, and her partner shares their home with a Golden Retriever named Murphy. Exploring the outdoors and discovering new parks and areas in the Capital Region is a passion Dr. Smith indulges in during her free time. She also recently took up pickleball, a new hobby that she enjoys with her family.
