Amy Smith - Practice Manager

Amy has worked with the doctors of Coastal since early 2001. She was initially hired to work the front desk of the St. Augustine office, but was promoted to Practice Manager 10 months later. Aside from the day to day tasks of managing a practice, Amy also creates content and manages all aspects of the advertising and promoting of the practice. Amy is happily married to her husband, Michael, and they have one grown son, Jake, who also works for Coastal.

Amy is a Stage 3 Cancer (chemo and radiation) Survivor. Having been diagnosed in 2016, she is now 5+ years into remission and believes in living each day with gratitude.

When not at work, Amy enjoys painting Kindness Art-art which is hand-painted and left, with an encouraging note, in a public place for a stranger to find and keep or re-hide. She also enjoys making jewelry and spending time with her family. Amy listens to a wide-array of music from Pop to Soft Rock to Christian.

If she could travel anywhere or do anything, she’d choose to go to Paris (#1 on her bucket list!) or to stay in a castle in Ireland or Scotland.

Amy says there are several reasons why she loves being a part of Coastal. First is the doctors and staff. It’s not often you find a group that is so close-knit and in sync with one another. It’s truly a family atmosphere. And that same sense of family extends to the patients of Coastal because patients are welcomed and treated like they are a part of the family, because that’s exactly what they are - part of the Coastal Family.
