Meet Erin Smith

Erin was born in Denver, CO and moved to Texas soon after birth. She attended Texas Tech University for undergrad and graduate school. She remains a die-hard red raider to this day. After graduation, she started her career in a general outpatient setting and shortly after moved into a hand clinic. She then switched gears into acute care back home in Amarillo, TX. She married her husband and moved to Pennsylvania where she was a contractor and “did it all”. Including outpatient movement disorders, hand therapy, in-patient rehab, LTAC, neuro-rehab, SNF, acute care, but never home health. They moved back to Dallas, TX in 2011 and she took a job at Parkland Memorial Hospital. She worked in acute care neuro for 8 months and then landed back in the hand clinic. She worked 5 years at Parkland and decided she needed a change. She has been working at OrthoTexas now for 9 years. She enjoys teaching and has been a clinical instructor to 20+ wonderful OT students.

Outside of work I enjoy bootcamp and pilates workouts. I have two wonderful kids with various sports and other activities that keep me and my husband pretty busy.
