My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I like to know my patients at a deeper level, relating to them as both their physician as well as a trusted friend. This unique relationship allows me to listen, teach, encourage and guide my patients through the complexities of medicine and their personal healthcare needs. I integrate compassion, integrity and at times devilish humor into my practice and my patients can expect to find thorough and superior health care blended with a relaxed and custom-tailored wellness approach to medicine. It's my goal that this personalized relationship and comprehensive approach to my patients' medical care will help them achieve their optimal health.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Smith

from Megan in NV February 10, 2024 for Paul R. Smith, MD

Whether for a major concern or relatively minor problem, Dr Smith always finds a way to see me immediately. I trust he is always watching out for me in addition to his being smart and current on medical issues.

from Elizabeth in NV February 10, 2024 for Paul R. Smith, MD

Doc Smith has been my doctor for over a decade and has never let me down. He helped me through the suicide of my husband, surgeries, injuries and illnesses. He has found alternative options for my chronic condition that allowed me to avoid surgery. He always finds time to see me although my schedule is erratic. He is kind and attentive. There’s never been a time that I felt rushed, whether in… See more

from Patrick in NV January 21, 2024 for Paul R. Smith, MD

Two days before departing to Mexico My husband had a repeat of a medical condition that made walking on his heal extremely painful. A quick call to Dr Paul and he received the RX of antibiotics. This allowed us to have a great vacation with lots of hiking. This is the big difference having MDVIP. Our doctor responded immediately versus the normal "we can get you in next month" as… See more

from Leeis in NV January 19, 2024 for Paul R. Smith, MD

We have been with Dr. Smith close to 20 years. He has been great. I feel comfortable with him and the staff. I'm frugal to a fault BUT, I won't be with Dr. Smiths medical care. He is the best.

from Susan in NV January 18, 2024 for Paul R. Smith, MD

Thank you Dr. Paul Smith and Mdvip.

from Susan in NV January 18, 2024 for Paul R. Smith, MD

I have been with my doctor, Paul Smith in Reno Nevada since before even he became a doctor with the MD VIP program. I believe it’s been more than 20 years. I recall back when he became a doctor with MD VIP, and went out on his own from a very popular group of doctors, they were a bit harsh on him, and we’re sure that he would fail. I followed him to his own practice, and to the contrary, the… See more

from Anthony in NV March 22, 2020 for Paul R. Smith, MD

Considering the craziness that is our world right now, Dr. Smith is the voice of reason in a world gone mad!
I have been able to contact him by phone and text at any time and have received answers promptly.
I appreciate his help and guidance very much.
Keep up the good work, Doc! I appreciate all that you do!

from john in NV March 22, 2020 for Paul R. Smith, MD

Two summers ago, I was experiencing extreme coughing/choking and shortness of breath. At the time, major California fires were turning the local air particularly smokey. My personal doctor was treating me for bronchitis. I went to a cardiologist who checked my lungs for the 'crackling sounds' I complained about. He did not think it significant enough and said to see him in 6 months. At this… See more

from Patricia in NV March 20, 2020 for Paul R. Smith, MD

Dr. Smith has been my Primary Care doctor since 2003. I can't say enough wonderful things about him. He is thorough in his examinations and doesn't hesitate to recommend a specialist if needed. He really listens to you when you talk to him. He picks up on little nuances in your words, voice, posture and gently and stealthily coaxes you into sharing something that you want to… See more
