Hundreds of people entrust their dogs, cats and horses to Dr. Smith. For example, for many years, the Metro Nashville Police Department have entrusted all 12 of their horses from their Mounted Patrol Unit to Dr. Smith for their veterinary care. The Mounted Patrol Unit performs vital services to the community; learn more about the Unit on the Metro Nashville website at www.police.nashville.org/bureaus/fieldops/horse_patrol.asp.

Some of Marc’s favorite hobbies include fishing, participating in triathlons and coaching his girls’ sports teams.
I want to personally thank Dr. Smith for giving his time and efforts to help a group of 7th graders from Gadsden Alabama this past Sunday. Dr. Smith did an outstanding job and the boys really appreciated all his hard work teaching them various catching skills.
Sincerely,
Mike Edwards
