Dr smith has been such an amazing doctor to work with. He is very thorough and attentive. We are so grateful and happy that we choose Dr Smith as our doctor.

We had a horrible visit. Right after we sat down in the waiting room the Dr came out and told his assistant his wife was there to pick him up and seemed like he was in a hurry. We felt rushed through our whole appointment. I was very upset because we just drove 2 hours and the dr only spent 2 minutes with us and left the office before the X-ray was done and didn't review it with us or tell us when to come back. I was not impressed at all!! He has terrible people skills A

this doctor is friendly and doesn't make us feel rushed at all. which I appreciate. he answered all our questions and explained it all to where my daughter and I could fully understand
UofU Patient
December 19, 2016
Dr. Smith was very hard to understand. He kept talking in probabilities rather than what was actually happening to our son's back. He seemed to make it a question that my son needed to answer on whether to get a brace or not, and then it wasn't really a question because according to the probabilities, a brace was warranted 6 months ago. When I tried to re-cap what he said, he said "no, but I can see how you thought that from what I said", so he was aware of being unclear, but kept on being unclear. I was finally restating everything he said to try to feel like I understood. I'm still not sure I do.

I too work in healthcare and am frequently asked for Dr. references. Dr Smith is always at the top of my list for Ortho!

Dr. Smith always seems rushed and doesn't seem interested in answering additional questions, or putting patients at ease.
UofU Patient

UofU Patient

He always makes us feel like we are his only patient. No matter how busy the waiting room is he answers all questions and doesn't make you feel rushed.
UofU Patient
October 01, 2016
I had to ask all the questions. almost nothing was volunteered. I didn't feel at ease and felt rushed. My fault for running late I guess. Still very anxious and don't know very much about what to expect. Will probably seek a second opinion.
UofU Patient
July 31, 2016
Dr Smith has been so wonderful to deal with since we first began seeing him. He always takes as much time needed to explain things and answer all my questions. He is a wonderful Dr and I would recommend him 100% to anyone I know that may have to go through scoliosis surgery.

Dr. Smith made me feel very comfortable in making the decision to proceed with doing surgery for my sons back! I appreciate how sincere and knowledgable he is.
UofU Patient
November 10, 2015
He is an excellent doctor and recommended even by other doctors in the field. I trust him that he knows what he is doing. I just don't feel like he provides care that is supportive and deals with the emotional and stressful side of the disease. I would also like to discuss other treatments instead of the sitting and waiting for the brace to work: physical therapy, massage, acupuncture etc.
UofU Patient

Highly recommend

Dr. Smith is the kindest man. he is always concerned with how I am doing.
UofU Patient
August 07, 2015
He is the top rated surgeon, but his 'bedside' manner is rough and cold. He did not make us feel at ease like he understood our fears. His reaction seems so clinical and matter-of-fact, not at all empathetic towards our frustrations and concerns, and our justification for being so. He seems hurried and not concerned with giving comfort, just facts and instructions. Even then, the instructions are 'sit and wait', no encouragement to try physical therapy or other techniques while waiting.
UofU Patient
April 15, 2015
Dr. Smith is phenomenal! I can tell he is genuinely concerned about my daughter and he never seems rushed. He spends as much time needed to talk about her care and explains things really well so that I am confident in the direction things need to go.
