Dr. Smith is my favorite eye doctor. Even though he does not accept I will return to see him as his level of care exceeds that of the other eye doctors I have seen.

May 28, 2013

I felt as though I was a member of the family by each employee at the eye center.

May 20, 2013

I went to Dr. Smith's father (J. Alvin Smith) for years in CA before he retired. I was so pleased to be able to come to his son (Dr.Craig Smith) when I moved to UT. He gives the same detailed and concerned care that his father gave.

May 03, 2013

Dr. Smith did a fantastic job of including me in my contact selection. He not only explained the costs, duration of use, but also provided information about past experiences with other patients and their preferences

I have been seeing Dr. Smith for many years. Appreciate it professionalism and the way he approaches concerns, as they have arisen. He explains issues very well. I have recommended him to others.

August 13, 2012

I love Dr. Smith and I do recommend him to everyone I know!

August 13, 2012

Dr. Smith was the first Optometrist I've met with in my lifetime of renewing my contacts-lens prescription annually, that took the time to identify that I have an astigmatism in one of my eyes and that my existing prescription was insufficient. It instills a great deal of confidence to learn that your care provider is seeking ways to improve upon his skills and knowledge, rather than the 'made it' disposition. Dr. Smith also has a fantastic personality and great sense of humor. That was definitely the most I've ever laughed with an Optometrist! He has earned me as a customer for life :)

August 02, 2012

Love Dr. Smith, he is easy to ask questions of, willing to take time for explainations, and open to alternatives.

July 13, 2012

The doctor demonstrated a genuine concern for my eye health. He took the time to explain each item of the examination in laymen's terms so that I could understand "why" & "how?" The doctor was superb.

June 26, 2012

Not able to fit bi-focal contact lense

June 21, 2012

I send other people to him all of the time. He let me take extra time to call and verify my last type of contact lens to double check. He is both excellent and humble.
