Lucas Smith, M.D.

About Me
Before returning to Seattle, I completed my residency in NYC, where I had the honor of serving as Chief Resident-a role that allowed me to further develop my leadership skills while honing my medical expertise.

I chose to pursue anesthesia because it allows me to perform high-level real-time medicine, ensuring patient safety throughout critical procedures. Returning to Seattle feels like coming home, as I graduated from the University of Washington, where I made lifelong connections and grew to love the Pacific Northwest. I look forward to contributing to the exceptional care at Swedish Medical Center.

Personal Interests
Outside of work, I like staying active: I enjoy weightlifting, running, hiking, biking, snowboarding, football, and ultimate frisbee.

Areas of Clinical Interests
I am interested in data-driven approaches to tailor perioperative care and anesthetic management for complex patients, aiming to ensure optimal outcomes while minimizing complications.
