Doctor Smith and Doctor Schiffer are both highly skilled. I trust both of them completely to perform whatever procedure I might need. They are also very friendly, down to earth and professional.
Dr Smith is a favorite of mine.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Marshall Smith and his team!
Dr. Smith was a little condescending, when I had expressed a concern he said "you mean this" (something entirely different). No, I meant what I said. I'm not an idiot. He wouldn't listen to what I was saying until I physically showed him. Just didn't really seem to want to listen to me. Once he realized what I was saying he pretty much handed me over to Shelley (that's fine I know and love her) to discuss solutions. Pretty much seemed to be there out of obligation and formality. I miss Dr. Muntz :(
I have known Doctor Smith for twenty one years. He is up to date on the latest technology's and procedures. Additionally, he shows a genuine concern for my issue and problem and is always willing to help me to the best of his ability which is second to none.

Dr Smith is a very knowledgeable and caring doctor. I have been a patient for 5 years.
good
This timesheet procedure was extremely painful and pain lasted until the next morning. This has not happened before and I took Tylenol which didn't help much. It would have been helpful to have this possible effect explained or instructions given. The treatment works, but this experience has changed my my feelings about it.
In the initial visit it was a lot of information and don't know if I was too overwhelmed and not taking much in. However questions were answered in a follow up email. Still not feeling great about where I stand as getting a surgical procedure I don't understand but that could be anxiety.
I have seen Dr. Smith for many years now. He has tried everything he could try to help me with a difficult case of idiopathic subglottic stenosis. I am now trying an inhaler at Dr. Smiths recommendation. I feel hopeful about that.
I have known Doctor Smith for twenty two years. He is a very skilled surgeon when it comes voice and neck issues. I have complete trust in him and his staff to provide the best outcome possible with my issue. I would not hesitate at all to refer anyone to Doctor Smith if they are in need of an otolaryngologist.

Dr. Smith is as good a Doctor as you'll find. I'd never meet him before and on my first visit, he was very personable and figured out my issue immediately. Very knowledgeable and great personal skills, I highly recommend him.
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.

I have been in multiple states and multiple doctor's offices. Dr. Smith and his assistants are truly gems in the art of care giving and the knowledge they have about their medical specialities. They listen, they advise and they perform. I have a rare autoimmune disease and am always treated with top-notch care.
I'm still confused about what is going on

Dr. 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!
Dr. Smith is amazing. I would recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Smith was the physician who finally diagnosed my voice disorder as spasmodic dysphonia, after I had struggled a long time with no answers.

Dr Smith is very personable felt very comfortable talking with him about my concerns.
The best doctor in Utah for me
From 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.

Great
He was thoughtful and efficient. I could tell he knew exactly that I was dealing with and made his decisions quickly.
I feel like Dr Smith is gold in the medical field. It is hard to find doctors like him these days, who listen carefully and value a parents perspective. I deal with a lot of Doctors and unfortunately feel very frustrated often, leaving feeling like my children's issues are unresolved or like I have to fight harder than I should need to to get them care they deserve. It was a breath of fresh air seeing Dr. Smith. He was warm, compassionate and we left reassured he would take great care of our son. 10/10 recommend. Thank you Dr. Smith!
I saw Dr. Smith only for a short time. Most of my interactions were with Beth Lanza.
He was genuinely concerned with explaining exactly what my condition was and what to expect from voice therapy to botox. He was hopeful that I could recover up to 80% plus of my vocal deficiency and shared the success of others who have my condition. I felt that he really cared about me and all of his patients and spent a ton of his time and expertise with me!
I am very happy with the results after surgery. He is a great doctor. He was kind, and very supportive.
The doctor is unbeatable, he is the best of the best, may God grant him a long life and good health. [TRANSLATED]

Dr. Marshall Smith is an exceptional doctor. I brought my daughter to him years ago, and he seriously saved her voice. After a year of hoarseness that caused emotional trauma, he brought her voice back to life, and she has since become a singing/dancing performer professionally. So, as I put my voice in his hands, I continue to trust his diagnosis and treatment plan implicitly. He is one of a kind, and we are lucky to have him in Utah.
Dr Smith is patient in listening to my questions & thorough in his explanations. He encourages me to look at images & discuss any concerns.
