Had a breast lift yesterday and am recovering well today. Dr. Smith and his team were kind, attentive, informative throughout and generally awesome! He’s got a very well seasoned practice that I highly recommend!
I felt Dr.Smith was very easy to talk to. He said what he could do and couldn’t do which I totally appreciate.
Nice/clean/professional office, easy location to find and get to/park, friendly doctor, great suggestions for procedure, super affordable. Looking forward to booking in December.

Dr. Rick Smith is a great listener & has been so kind & sweet to me before ~ during & after my 2 Health related Surgical procedures ~ he & his very kind Staff helped calm my anxiousness & made me feel very comfortable at every appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Smith to all who need Plastic Surgery. I do feel that he really “cares” about his Patients & I feel confident that he will always do his utmost best that he can to make sure I’m happy with the results.
Beautiful experience here, This is where butterflies are born. Thank you to the concerning staff, And Dr. rick
We called at 10:30 and were able to get seen by noon. Thank you!
GREAT GUY AND EVEN BETTER DOCTOR.
Good follow-up on my post-OP muscle problems affecting my shoulder & neck. Dr Smith referred me to help & topical cream that should help. Good service & a caring doctor.
Great surgeon with likable personnel.
Excellent Service. Very kind Dr very considerate of his patients and made my procedure very easy to get through not knowing what to expect! The staff are all very caring as well!
Very kind employees and helpful. Doctor is sweet and caring and very clean Facility. I recommend to every one
Efficiently run office. I was seen promptly and offered expert description of the proposed procedure. Surgery scheduler was helpful and knowledgeable
Excellent communication from both Dr. Smith and staff. Left with a plan and understanding of what and why procedures should be done.
I definitely give Dr. Smith 5 stars on how I was treated by everyone in his office. I thought, what I felt, was an odd or unusual procedure for my consultation. I never felt that anyone was giving me any strange looks or felt that anyone was laughing on their inside. Everyone was a true professional. I lost half me weight a couple years ago. I went from 315 lbs. to now for the last 2.5 years I'm at 158 lbs. and I did it naturally just by watching my calorie intake. The only thing that caught me be surprise was although the pricing for the procedure was inline with what I seen on this website, it does fail to list that there is also a substantial facility fee of 70% additional cost for the procedure I originally inquired about. And another procedure I inquired about the facility fee was an additional near 40%. I haven't completely ruled out the main reason for my consultation but, it has really made me think twice if I want to spend that much money. If I decide to have it done, it has definitely caused me to put it off for maybe another year or more.
Dr. Smith is a great surgeon with friendly bed-side manner. His staff was very helpful and kind. I would definitely recommend this practice.
Dr. Smith is always very honest and professional. He does great work and I would highly recommend him.

Very friendly and professional. Quick appointment. Answered all my questions. I just hope my procedure is approved because the pain for the last year has been unbearable.
Everyone at the office is always so kind and professional at the same time. Dr Smith is not only a wonderful and knowledgeable physician but very much a gentleman as well. Dr smith and his staff are an example of how medicine should be practiced. I am grateful to be associated with this group!
