Robert Smitherman, M.D., FACP chose internal medicine for its broad complex scope and challenges, and because of his desire to form meaningful, long-lasting relationships with his patients. He has been an academic clinician and teacher in Texas since 2001 and has served the Arlington community since 2008.
Dr. Smitherman is board-certified in internal medicine. He earned his medical degree and completed his internal medicine residency at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.

Dr. Smitherman’s areas of interest and focus include the treatment of chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and the promotion of cardiovascular health and wellness. He currently serves as an adjunct faculty member at UT Southwestern Medical School, and is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and a member of the Texas Medical Association.
