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.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Smith
Dr. Smith is a patient, caring, and compassionate physician. I have several different health issues and he is always there to explain things clearly and to answer questions.

I was diagnosed with a serious disease. Dr Dean Smith immediately took action to get me in for tests and procedures necessary to manage the disease and try to maintain a quality of life

Fifteen plus years of the best Medical treatment I and my wife could ask for Thank you Dr Dean Smith

For the first time in a long time, I feel I have a doctor who really listens and who really cares. I have not been Dr. Smith's patient for too long, yet I still have the reassurance that he is truly there for me and on my side.
I am a spoiled rotten patient whose father was a general practitioner and husband an internist. I always had the security of "live in" help… See more
