About Me
I am a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in primary care at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I treat acute illnesses and injuries, help patients manage chronic conditions, and I provide gynecological services and address mental health.
The opportunity to serve as a person’s care provider is one of the greatest privileges. I strive to forge a genuine connection with every person who comes to see me, and I empower them to take active roles in their health care as we work together on treatment plans that make the most sense for them.
My previous experiences have made me the primary care provider I am today. I’ve worked in health care since 2010, and I was inspired to become a nurse practitioner after working closely with an advanced practice provider during a medical mission trip to rural India. I’ve worked in a variety of settings including emergency care, forensic nursing and preventative medicine.
My scholarly work has focused on improving care for individuals living with a disability who have been victims of crime, and I have been involved with anti-human trafficking efforts. Collectively, I bring all this expertise into each patient encounter to give my patients a holistic and well-rounded care experience.

Deanna took the time to explain everything to me and asked if the plan was ok with me
Dr. Smith was SO lovely! It was my first time meeting her and she quickly put me at ease and made a plan to get some necessary follow-ups done. She listened closely to everything I said and didn't make me feel like we needed to rush through things. It was a great experience overall.
I have seen many primary care doctors over the past 10 years and no one compares to CNP Smith. From day one, I was very impressed by the way she took her time and listened l to everything I said. She asked many questions to understand my situation and made a plan for future visits. She answered all of my questions without feeling rushed or just another number.
NP Smith is the best!! On this day she had a student (not sure exact title) but he was shadowing and provided excellent care as well!
Took the time to listen to my concerns. Did not try to rush through the visit.
First visit with new care provider. Very thorough, had my medical records. Developed a care plan for the next 6 mos- year. Felt listened to and recommended her to my daughter in law who is needing a family provider
They did a nice job engaging and listening
Deanna is awesome, I found her based off of great reviews. She's is very responsive on Mychart and takes her time in my appointments, making me feel heard.
She's fantastic - exactly what I was looking for in a care provider
Deanna was helpful, careful, and had a wonderful bedside manner.
The best! She always takes the time I need, for my health issues, whenever I see her.
The provider took the time to talk with me about concerns and gave me helpful information to implement positive health changes.
Very good listener.
Listened carefully to me and did what she could to help me
Deanna Smith is one of the best health care practitioners I have ever encountered. She truly cares about her patients and listens to their needs. I would recommend her to anyone!
Very friendly, easy to talk with and she explains things well and is thorough in answering my questions.
Deanna is wonderful.I cant imagine having a primary that cares more or tries to come up with creative intelligent solutions for my health issues
The best provider I've seen yet
My provider was amazing and I felt very listened to! I felt like she really took into consideration everything I had to say about my condition.
Fantastic provider. I recently had a poor experience with a PCP and finding her has been a blessing. Kind, caring and listens without judgement.
First time visiting. Was very pleased with her concerns and course of action.
Very happy this was a initial visit for looking for a primary care provider.
I drive an hour to have her as my provider. Which I do not mind because she is a great Dr.
Was sincere and friendly
I drive an hour to see this provider. I'm thankful for all the care she has shown in understanding my health needs and follow up.
She was great. I absolutely loved her. She was very thorough and cared about every concern I had. Would definitely refer family and friends to her.
Very thorough and nice.
This was the very first time I have seen my provider after switching from my old PCP- who I could never get into see when needed. Not to mention one time my old PCP canceled my appointment due to being out of office and the soonest they could reschedule me was 6 months after the prior visit when I needed care. This is the first time in years I have felt listened too and actually heard regarding health my concerns and I didn't have to wait 6 months for an appointment. I have nothing but great things to say about Deanna!
All questions answered and nec test requested
Very personable, made me feel safe!
Deanna was excellent. She was compassionate, understanding and very thorough. She asked appropriate questions and was more than willing to investigate my concerns.
Excellent care
