Tricia Smith has dedicated her career to the dental field, beginning as a chairside dental assistant at just 15 years old. She later pursued her passion for patient care by becoming a registered dental hygienist, a role she held for over 20 years. When she could no longer practice hygiene, Tricia transitioned into leadership roles, serving as a front desk coordinator, practice manager, and team leader.
Her journey into sleep medicine was unexpected but deeply personal. After discovering that she and many of her loved ones had sleep apnea, Tricia became committed to helping patients receive accurate diagnoses and effective treatment for this often-overlooked condition.
Outside of work, Tricia enjoys cooking, traveling, and spending time with her two grown children.
