October 30, 2025UNIVERSITY HOSPITALFrom the moment I met him, I felt relief to have a doctor who understood my condition (idiopathic subglotic stenosis) and made me feel that I was in the best place to be treated. He has a very calm and reassuring manner which allows me to tolerate uncomfortable procedures. So very happy I am one of his patients.
October 24, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERVery knowledgeable and thorough.
October 18, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr. Marshall E. Smith is very professional but also caring and interested in my thoughts and needs as a patient. He is very thorough an knowledgeable and helped diagnose my problem. I trust his knowledge and skill.
October 06, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr. Smith was most excellent. At first I didn't understand exactly what was happening with my throat but he totally drew a diagram exactly and explained it all for us. I didn't understand how long I would have to stay in the hospital. That was quite a surprise to us! I was always a slow healer so I guess I should have realized it would take so long. Dr. Smith and all his Residents were excellent care givers!
October 05, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr Snith is very thorough and knowledgeable about tracheistomies
August 30, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERI have known Dr Marshall Smith for nearly two decades. He was the first person who diagnosed my cancer of the vocal chord the co surgeon operating on me. I have visited him annually for the follow ups. I certainly believe that he is one of the best in his field of practice.
