General Info

Dr. David Vastine is an internal medicine doctor with more than 20 years of medical experience at Great Smokies Family Medicine in Sevierville, TN. When he’s not practicing medicine, Dr. Vastine enjoys fishing, hunting, hiking, and woodworking. “I have always been drawn to internal medicine with its perfect balance of art, science, and humanity. It allows the physician’s knowledge of diagnosis, the art of application of knowledge, and human compassion to determine how that art and science are applied to care for the patient. It allows the continued pursuit of knowledge and contact with patients to apply that knowledge in the easement of pain and illness. In the words of Sir William Osler, ‘the good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.’ I continue to practice internal medicine to strive for that greatness every day.”
