Patient Reviews
Feb 20, 2021
Sr Smith was our sons savior and mine as well. My 29 year olds had two seizures within two weeks and had been rushed to Scripps Dr Smith was his Surgeon and she called me immediately to explain the condition and to tell me what would happen she operated on my son and then provided after care that went above and beyond to ensure that my son was referred to the right doctors and that his rare condition was given the urgent follow up care he needed. We are still going through discovery and treatment but without Dr Smith and her wonderful care the outcome could have been much worse. To top it off she was available to me to answer every question and put me at ease when I couldn’t be there for my son due to COVID restrictions. Dr Smith you are awesome and many thanks from our son and our family!
