About Me

Pinar Jaclyn Smith, MD, is an endocrinologist who joined RUSH in August of 2023. Procedures that she performs include in-office thyroid ultrasounds and fine-needle aspiration biopsies. She actively participates in thyroid tumor boards, where she brings her patients' cases to the attention of a multidisciplinary group that includes surgeons, oncologists, radiation oncologists and pathologists to discuss their cancer management plans. Smith serves on the American Thyroid Association Surgical Affairs Committee and the editorial board of the Clinical Thyroidology for the Public journal.

She completed her endocrinology fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, where she trained under Terry Davies, M.D. While there, she was recognized as an E. Chester Ridgway Trainee Recipient of the American Thyroid Association. She worked as a thyroidologist at Columbia University Thyroid Center in New York City for three years before joining RUSH.
