I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Smart! He has performed several cosmetic procedures for me in recent years years, and I unreservedly trust his judgement. He takes the time to understand my goals, thoroughly discusses each procedure (including the benefits and the risks), never seems too rushed to answer my questions. I always feel that we are reaching a decision together, taking into account both my objectives and his expertise, and I have never been disappointed in the results. He and his staff are also very thorough in explaining after-care and in making sure I know that I can call anytime afterwards if I have ANY questions or concerns. I feel complete confidence in Dr. Smart, which is especially important when one is dealing with cosmetic concerns.

Do not feel Dr Smart gave clear options as to my concern or why I was there. I feel like I could have been talked into any option that would eliminate my concern over my medical issue. He spoke in circles, almost felt like he was showing off for the student Shadowing him.

dr smart is one of those rare young md's that is open, honest and willing to discuss with an over educated patient and he is not intimidated but encourages this. He is honest about whether a procedure is appropriate for me and gives me the cost/benefit so I can decide. He is also a talented professional.
