Gifford welcomes fourth podiatrist

Gifford Medical Center in Randolph has added a fourth specialist in an area where demand for local and regional care is great – podiatry.

Podiatric Surgeon Dr. Paul Smith joined Gifford in July and is seeing patients both at the Randolph hospital and Gifford’s Sharon Health Center. Smith, a Vermont native, joins Gifford from a three-year podiatric surgery residency program at the Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Wash., and following four years at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, where he collected his doctor of podiatric medicine in 2006.
