    SOUTH JORDAN HEALTH CENTER

    Ms Smolinski, Dr Smolinski was able to go straight to the heart of the matter, something a pain doctor and a physical therapist could not do after months of treatment. Ms Smolinski's name was pulled out of a hat... the first available appointment... so I was uncertain what quality of care I would receive. Pleasantly surprised... and more.

    GREENWOOD HEALTH CENTER

    Very nice and helpful

    GREENWOOD HEALTH CENTER

    Great Doctor, listens and explains things

    GREENWOOD HEALTH CENTER

    Very thorough in her explanation of my situation, clear directions/description of what happens next with me. Easy setting up the appointment, took her time explaining situation to me. So happy to have questions cleared up. I presented to ER, then U of U, then to rehab with no clear information about what happened next, or how long I'll be wearing this back brace, Dr. Smolinski cleared up my questions.

    GREENWOOD HEALTH CENTER

    Dr. Smolinski explores all options and makes me part of the decision making process. She's the greatest.

    SOUTH JORDAN HEALTH CENTER

    GREENWOOD HEALTH CENTER

    GREENWOOD HEALTH CENTER

    She is a great doctor that will help you make a good decision on handling your health.

    SOUTH JORDAN HEALTH CENTER

    Dr. Smolinski took the time to understand my medical history, hear my concerns/ goals and develop a care plan that helps me achieve a new level of health.
