Dr. Sam Smith

Dr. Smith graduated from Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2019, then sharpened his skills with a one-year rotating internship in surgery and medicine at IndyVet Emergency and Specialty Hospital. He joined the 30th Street team in summer 2020—and hasn’t looked back.

Today, he’s the go-to for tricky surgeries and complex internal cases, always calm under pressure and quick with a reassuring word (for pets *and* people). Whether it’s a routine spay or a mystery illness, he treats every patient like they’re his own.

Off the clock, you’ll find him strumming rock riffs on guitar—or dodging the claws of his Cornish Rex cat, Dracula, who thinks he runs the house.

At 30th Street, it’s more than medicine. It’s trust, care, and a little bit of rock 'n' roll.
