Biography: Board eligible in anesthesiology and pain medicine, Dr. Gregory Lawson Smith has roots from the small town of Mount Ida, Arkansas. He received his Bachelor of Science in Education in Pre-Professional Kinesiology from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. He remains a Hog fan for life. He then moved to Little Rock where he completed his medical degree, residency in anesthesiology, and interventional pain fellowship at UAMS. He holds the distinction of being the first interventional trained pain fellow from UAMS. Dr. Smith was asked to stay on at UAMS as an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology following his fellowship. He primarily focuses on the treatment of chronic pain conditions using minimally invasive procedures, spinal cord stimulation, and vertebral augmentation. His specific research interests include developing a retrograde approach to spinal cord stimulation and the use of peripheral nerve stimulators to treat pudendal neuralgia. He is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys time with his family.​
