Dr. Stephen Justin Smitherman ND, DC, MS
I have been practicing since 2014 with my main focus and expertise being in joint pain, and hormone replacement therapy.
When I first graduated I practiced in the busy downtown of Chicago. It was great there, but I am from the PNW (Tukwila), and always knew I would return to be closer to friends and family.
Since moving to Vancouver in 2019 I married Dr. Sarah Zara Smitherman who has her own clinical practice. We have been blessed with a son, Sai. We live here in the local community, and plan to stay indefinitely. You might see me at the Chuck’s, or out for a coffee in town.
