Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Smith was amazing! I previously had a rhinoplasty by another plastic surgeon in Texas. I was left with a bulbous deviated tip and collapsed left nostril. The original surgeon told me to wait a year for the asymmetries to resolve. However after one year there was no improvement. I did my research for the best facial plastic surgeon in Ohio and Dr Smith was the clear choice. My initial consultation with him left me feeling confident in my choice as he was very thorough, knowledgeable, and confident in his ability to fix my asymmetries. He used 3D simulations to show me what I was to expect after surgery. The surgery went smoothly and I am very pleased with my results. As soon I saw my nose after surgery, I was so relieved that I finally had a nose that I always wanted. This time around, the results only continue to improve with time. Dr Smith refined my tip and straightened my nostril. My nose looks perfect. I only wish I would have had him do the original rhinoplasty!

Dr. Smith does not have the ability or the expertise to do the job. I went to him for a little refinement on my nose, but I ended up with a crooked, bigger and unattractive nose and not to mention a breathing problem that I’m still suffering from the after math. I do not recommend this dr.

Not only has Dr. Smith given me back great quality to my life..his professional quality is eclipsed by his care for his patients. His staff is not only very professional but just as warm and caring. I would recommend Dr. Smith to everyone..and I worked in an ICU for over thirty years.

Dr Smith removed very small but bothersome mole from my left side of the face. The work he did was amazing! you can barely tell anything was done and closed the wound with appropriate amount of stiches etc, that were barely noticeable . he is a'little pricely initially, but well worth having a less than qualified doctor make essentially permanent marks on face which are hard to cover up.

Today, I saw Dr. Smith for a Botox and laser treatment to improve my skin?s overall appearance. I chose Dr. Smith for his overall experience and recommendations. I found his staff to be very friendly and helpful. I was in and out quickly, so overall it was a great experience.

On April 6, Dr. Smith did my nasal valve reconstruction. My mother had been a patient here and gave Dr. Smith a very good recommendation. He is knowledgeable and helpful. I am glad I made the choice to come to Dr. Smith. It doesn?t even look like I had anything done. I will also be giving Dr. Smith recommendations.

I had lipo, fat-transfer and a CO2 laser on 12/3. I moved to Columbus about four years ago and someone from the office had recommended him to me for Botox. I didn't like how my eyes were aging. Dr. Smith is incredibly professional and candid and knowledgeable. I am happy with my results. I am very excited that my cheekbones appear a little higher and the texture of my skin from the laser is quite remarkable. My recovery could have been a lot worse. I only had some soreness for a few days.
