    The services that Dr Smith provides to patients who have been diagnosed with Spasmodic Dystonia; gives us a little bit of light and hope that we can still function, somewhat normally, in our day to day life. Otherwise, many of the day to day things that once, used to come so naturally, start to become harder and harder and you start to disengage from everyone and everything and you are unable to do your job or any tasks for that matter. It really is such a life altering disorder and without Dr. Smith and his caring staff, it would just be a whole lot harder.

    Dr. Marshall Smith has been caring for me & my tracheal malacia for 18 years. Harvard doctors said I was a doomed yet the brilliant & gifted Dr. Smith & his team have given me prolonged life for 18 years since the Harvard surgeons said I wasnt going to make it! Dr. Smith is kind and skillful and he treats me & my wife with respect. He also listens to us and never talks down to us. (We are retired science teachers & I once was a respiratory therapy tech.)
