Sommer Smith is a graduate from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor's of science 2000, a master's degree in physical therapy 2003,and a doctorate of physical therapy from the University of St. Scholastica in 2024. She moved to Birmingham to complete her final internship at HealthSouth with Dr. Andrews and Dr. Lemak and under the guidance of Mike Reinold, DPT and Kevin Wilk, PT, (leaders in the sports physical therapy industry), and had the privilege of working with patients ranging from youth sports to professional athletes. After HealthSouth dissolved, she moved to Vestavia and was involved in a start -up sports medicine clinic furthering her specialty in sports medicine. In 2008, she accepted a job in her new hometown of Gardendale where she could be closer to home and part of her community, as well as developing the opportunity to grow further in a wide range of neurologic, gait, vestibular and spinal dysfunctions.  While employed at Gardendale Physician Associates, which later became St. Vincent's Gardendale, her knowledge and expertise branched to a much more diverse patient population, but so did her love for the community she calls home. She and her husband Chris have lived in Gardendale for 17 years and have established strong roots for their 2 boys, Christian and Luke.  She and her family attend Church of the Highlands. They have 2 German Shepherds who help keep the family busy when the boys are not playing sports.

Their newest addition to the family, Kevin, is a boxer mix rescued from Blount County shelter, and he may need to be a new addition to the clinic for a little therapy love.
