Dr. Walter Smith is a leading expert in the field of bariatrics, the medical treatment of obesity and weight-loss. He began his bariatric specialty while in family practice. Many of his patients requested help in losing weight. So in 1986, Dr. Smith began developing a sound medical treatment to help patients lose weight, which is known today as Dr. Smith's Get Thin Program.

Since then, Dr. Smith's Get Thin Program has emerged as a premier bariatric clinic. Thousands of patients have used Dr. Smith's Get Thin Program and seen wonderful results.

In fact, Dr. Smith's Get Thin Program has been so successful that Dr. Smith teaches other physicians, student doctors, interns, and residents about weight loss.

Dr. Smith is an active member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians, the American Osteopathic Association, and the Georgia Osteopathic Medical Association.

Dr. Smith graduated as a doctor from the University of Health Sciences located in Kansas City. He also holds a masters and bachelors degree in Business Administration as well as a degree in electrical engineering. He is also a Certified Administrative Manager in the Administrative Management Society.

In previous years, Dr. Smith has shared his business practices and office techniques as a consultant to other physicians. He's authored articles that were published for their informational and educational value regarding business practices and office techniques. He's served as an instructor for the American Red Cross and the Emergency Medical Technicians for the State of Georgia.

For fun Dr. Smith enjoys woodworking (which he claims to do moderately well), fly fishing (for which he claims he is an expert), and sporting clays (which he claims to do moderately well).

His staff and patients know him as a fun loving, laughter causing, Jingle-Bells-year-round-singing type of doctor who is dedicated to helping his patients succeed.
