Dr. F. Ames Smith
Physician Specialists Northwest is a specialty practice that focuses on early detection, risk reduction, and prevention of various cancers for patients and their families. Dr. F. Ames Smith Jr, an experienced general and breast cancer surgeon, founded this group and established the Hereditary Cancer Risk Clinic in Boise in March of 2024. The primary goal of our clinic is to identify and manage men and women who might carry a genetic mutation that would place them at a very high risk for different cancers. Other risk factors are considered as well. Coordination of care with local and regional specialists, integrity, service, and compassion are especially important priorities of the practice. He is able to see patients in the office or via telehealth, and welcomes new patients.
About Dr. Smith
Dr. Smith's has dedicated his practice exclusively to managing patients (both men and women) with high risk for cancer, especially those with a hereditary (inherited genetic) predisposition to cancer. His general and breast surgical knowledge and experience has made him uniquely positioned to lead this service line, which has been a focus of his practice for the last 16 years. He works collaboratively with other local and regional providers including breast surgeons Dr. Rhiana Menen and Carrie Newton, among others. He shares an office with Lake City PT who specialize in women’s health (including oncology, pelvic floor issues, and lymphedema). He is available for office visits as well as telehealth (licensed in Texas, Washington, and Idaho).
