CLARKSTON, WA – October 23, 2026 – TriState Health welcomes Barry Smith, DO, who joined TriState General Surgery in October.

A native of Twin Falls, Idaho, Dr. Smith earned his undergraduate degree from the College of Idaho and his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Midwestern University Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine in Glendale, Arizona, in 2003. He completed his residency at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and a fellowship in foregut, bariatric and robotic surgery in Houston in 2021.

Dr. Smith brings extensive experience in general, trauma, bariatric, and foregut surgical care.

Following his honorable discharge in 2012, he returned to his home state of Idaho and has practiced in Boise, the Lewis-Clark Valley, and most recently at Syringa Hospital & Clinics in Grangeville.

“My practice gives me the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in my patients’ lives and improve their quality of life,” said Dr. Smith. “I’m excited to return to the Lewis-Clark Valley and bring my training and experience to TriState General Surgery, while helping expand the surgical services available right here in our community.”
