New York City, New York Sep 16, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - A board-certified gynecologic oncologist who provides exceptional medical care and emotional support for her patients. Dr. Smiley has been at West Cancer Center since 1995. She sees patients at the offices in Southaven, Mississippi & Germantown, and Jackson, Tennessee.
Specializing in women’s cancers, she treats cervical, ovarian, vulvar, and uterine cancers.

An expert in her field, she is board-certified in gynecologic oncology & obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define specialty standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

Gynecologic oncology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on cancers of the female reproductive system, including ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, vaginal cancer, cervical cancer, and vulvar cancer. A gynecologic oncologist is a physician who specializes in diagnosing and treating cancers that are located on a woman’s reproductive organs.
Extremely dedicated to her profession, Dr. Smiley extends the reach of her medical expertise to underserved populations through medical mission trips sponsored by her church. She is involved in several medical associations and serves on the Board of Directors for the Tennessee Chapter of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition.
As a testament to her success, she has been the recipient of the Top Doc in Gynecologic Oncology Award by Memphis Magazine (2012-2021), Exceptional Women in Medicine Award (2020, 2021), Distinguished Alumni Award by Christian Brothers University (1999), and American Cancer Society Clinical Oncology Fellowship Award (1990).
