My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

Doctor derives from the Latin word for teacher. My most important role as a doctor is to teach my patients to understand as much as possible about their illness and the importance of their wellness. I empower each of my patients to be my partner so we can work together to make a positive difference in their health and well-being.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Smith

from Joni in SC February 11, 2024 for Dean A. Smith, MD

The way I see it, Dr Dean
Smith saved my life!
When I explained i was experiencing fainting spells and my concern about driving, he immediately ordered a monitor so we could try to capture the event. In a week and a half Dr Dean called my house and told me that i had experienced a heart block - 15 seconds without a heart beat - and that i should head to the hospital. By the end of… See more

from Larry in SC February 11, 2024 for Dean A. Smith, MD

My MDVIP Doctor is Dr. Dean Smith who practices in Myrtle Beach SC. As an 86 year old patient I have an opportunity to compare many medical practioneers over my lifetime. No surprise I have seen and experienced many types of "bedside personalities" and have developed a preference. That being, treat me as my condition is just as important as the patients waiting to be seen. This… See more

from Joyce in SC February 10, 2024 for Dean A. Smith, MD

My husband was scheduled for hip replacement. Just two days before the surgery, the hospital Pre-op department suddenly sent a revised report to the surgeon mentioning the fact that he has a low heart rate and an extra, short heart beat every fourth time. Three years before, his cardiologist concluded that it was just normal for him and that my husband only needed to return if there was a… See more

He would stop by the center on occasion to share time with him and make certain he… See more

from Pamela Gayle in SC March 12, 2020 for Dean A. Smith, MD

It’s a common thought that in today’s medical world you have to self diagnose or who knows what could happen. If you are not proactive with your doctor you may never get tested until it’s to late! Not so with Dr. Smith. He is so proactive with your health and well being. I love telling friends that “my Dr. is a medical nerd which means he knows everything but if he did come across something he… See more

from Kathy in SC March 12, 2020 for Dean A. Smith, MD

Dr Dean Smith was my doctor for several years prior to joining MDVIP. He is a patient, caring doctor who listens to his patients and never hurries them along. Since being a part of MDVIP I have felt very confident in being able to see him if I had a medical issue. I love that he is available even when office hours are over. He has helped me by explaining my tests results from annual physicals… See more
