Larissa Smith, D.O., specializes in obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN). “I enjoy both sides of OB-GYN but there is a special place in my heart for obstetrics. It is a joy to walk patients through their pregnancy journey and then help have a 'birth'- day party with them,” she said.
Dr. Smith chose OB-GYN as her specialty during medical school because she enjoys working with women and helping them improve their health. “The day your child is born is a day you will always remember and such a life changing event,” she said. “I enjoy being a part of that special day and watching families grow. I also liked improving other women's health and seeing them through different milestones in their life.”
Dr. Smith’s decision to work toward a career in health care did not come as a surprise. From a young age, she said she had an interest in science and medicine. Her choice was made solid once she realized she could combine some of her favorite interests, science and health care, and interacting with people. She goes on to add, “I also had a wonderful physician growing up that took care of me from birth to medical school. He is the one that encouraged me to pursue medicine.”
When it comes to her patients, Dr. Smith loves learning about everyone’s hobbies and connecting through stories of travel and adventure.
Some advice she likes to remind patients is to, “Don’t forget to take care of yourself. We, as moms, like to make sure everyone else is taken care of in our lives.”
Dr. Smith’s education includes:
• Residency in obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) at Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences (OSU-CHS) in Tulsa, 2017
• Doctor of osteopathic medicine degree at Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences (OSU-CHS) in Tulsa, 2013
• Bachelor’s degree in biological sciences at Oklahoma State University (OSU) in Stillwater, 2009
When Dr. Smith isn’t working she enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons. She also loves gravel biking, snow skiing, running, gardening and fishing. “I have gone deep sea fishing, and also, once caught a 15-pound striped bass fish in Lake Texoma,” she said.
She welcomes new patients and accepts most insurance plans at:
Utica Park Clinic

Dr. Smith was the perfect choice for my family. I had two pregnancies under her care, and she was always kind, professional, and willing to answer any questions my husband and I had regarding the pregnancy or the baby. When we encountered complications, she quickly fit us into the schedule and did everything she could to evaluate our baby and alleviate our fears. She is an excellent doctor, and I would recommend her without hesitation.

Dr. Larissa Smith was a gift from heaven. She was so warm and friendly and told me everything she was going to do. I had an annual pap along with another test. I highly recommend Dr. Larissa Smith. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Dr. Larissa Smith was very kind and answered all my questions! She was educational throughout the exam which I appreciate. It’s nice to not only be walked through the process but understand and learn as well. The nurse assisting her was also very kind and even reminded Dr. Smith of a question I had for her when I forgot to ask it. Office staff was great and Dr. Smith promptly uploads the results into my MyChart account when she received them. I would definitely recommend her! I had seen the same OBGYN provider for the last 10 years but had to find a new one due to insurance changing. So glad Dr. Smith was available!
