UofU Patient May 08, 2013
From the time he walked into the room, he was cold and short. He told us that my daughter has to get strep 2 more times this year before he would take her tonsils out, which is fine except to my 5 year old that means that she has to get her throat swabbed and be on medicine 2 more times before the doctor will help her feel better. My child has had strep so many times in the past 2 years that she can tell me when she has it. I understand his hesitation and caution on this matter, but he could have been a little more caring about a 5 year old. He was very unapproachable.
UofU Patient May 01, 2013no complaints

UofU Patient April 01, 2013Dr Smith is an amazing and thorough doctor. I recommend him to everyone. The only reason for the "good" on the medications is that I wish he had given me more info on what to expect while on the steroids. The side effects were horrible!

UofU Patient September 11, 2012GOOD EXPERIENCE
UofU Patient August 07, 2012I have been seen by Dr. Marshall Smith for many years, and have complete confidence in his ability to help me with my voice issues. If I ever had to relocate to another part of the country I would be very concerned about finding someone I trusted as much! I'd probably just fly back to SLC for treatment.
UofU Patient July 25, 2012I respect and admire Dr. Smith. He is truly an amazing doctor
UofU Patient July 24, 2012I would highly recommend Dr. Smith, but I would tell my friend to bring a long novel to read and to not make any other plans for the next several hours in case the wait is as long as mine was.
UofU Patient July 11, 2012Dr. Smith is fantastic and I have already recommended him several times. Thank you Dr. Smith
UofU Patient July 02, 2012The current treatments/medications have been in use for close to 20-years. It seems that newer medications/treatments should be available.
UofU Patient June 15, 2012very impressed
UofU Patient May 17, 2012Everyone in this clinic takes time to explain to you and make sure you understand things
UofU Patient May 10, 2012If you get the idea that I like Dr. Smith you are correct.
UofU Patient May 03, 2012Would have liked the doctors to ask if you have any questions and explain what was seen on the computer a little more throughly.
UofU Patient May 01, 2012Dr. Smith mentioned an alternative procedure shortly before I went in for surgery. This was the first time the alternative was mentioned, and I would have liked having the information earlier, perhaps during the exam the previous day. I don't think it would have changed the course of treatment, but I did not feel that there was adequate time to make an informed decision. Again, I think the course of treatment was appropriate, but it was a little bit of a shock to hear that there was another option as I was headed into surgery.
UofU Patient April 10, 2012We highly value the experience and time dr smith gives us. We know and trust him in giving us excellent care, advice and treatments.
UofU Patient April 08, 2012it was a great experience the doctor was awesome I was very worried about my voice, I had thought i was going to lose it for ever.. the doctor reassured me that if i did what he and his assistant told me to do everything should be fine. and they were right.
UofU Patient April 06, 2012Dr. Smith is AWESOME! He remembers me and what I do for a living. He knows that his care directly impacts my life, my income, my ability to impact the world. He carefully explains my progress, treatment options, and makes sure that I understand my options. I have great respect and admiration for him!
UofU Patient March 23, 2012Everything was excellent
UofU Patient March 22, 2012Amazing team who showed great care and explained things in detail - would recommend this team highly!
UofU Patient March 22, 2012I would appreciate not only a diagnosis, but better explanations of the process at how the diagnosis was determined. Also, I would have appreciated being presented with more options from non-traditional, alternative medicine. I feel that Dr. Smith is very closed-minded to anything but big-pharma-funded approaches.
UofU Patient March 15, 2012good
UofU Patient March 09, 2012Dr. Smith very kind, knowledegable, and caring.

UofU Patient February 09, 2012Dr. Smith is a caring and compassionate doctor. He listens to me and answers my questions fully. I like his sense of humor also. He is genuinely concerned about my healing progress and eventual outcome of my surgery.
UofU Patient January 27, 2012Dr. Smith went the extra mile for me AND my family when he succeeded in helping me obtain better coverage from my insurance provider! He feels like family to me. Thank you.
UofU Patient January 27, 2012liked the doctors
UofU Patient January 24, 2012Dr. Smith removed the tonsils and adenoids for my other child, and the experience was good. In the exam room, he is somewhat clinical and dry, and goes a little fast in providing information to someone who isn't as familiar with it as he is, but he is willing to repeat it if needed. I believe his speed is a result of being proficient.
UofU Patient January 12, 2012My mother had a long medical history to explain but I felt the doctor listened intently and grasped everything the first time without needing any further explanation. He was very kind and compassionate and very smart.
