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.

I appreciate so many things about Dr. Smith. I appreciate the thorough annual physical assessment and the time spent answering my questions and giving me guidance I need, without ever being rushed. I appreciate that I have such a comfort level with his care that I am never hesitant to ask any question no matter how minor it might seem to me. He always explains things completely, giving me… See more

from Chuck in NV March 12, 2020 for Paul R. Smith, MD

Dr. Paul Smith will not shake your hand! And even in that practice, he is teaching us how to be health and stay alive. As we are being reminded with the COVID-19 virus, shaking hands is not a health practice. At the same time, he “touches” my life regularly and personally. He always takes time for me - whether in the office or on the phone. We have texted photos of skin rashes from our… See more

from William in NV March 12, 2020 for Paul R. Smith, MD

A little over a year ago, I woke up on Monday morning and took my coffee out by the pool. After a vigorous weekend of motorcycle racing, I was a bit sore all over. But noticed it most in my pecs. Hmm, I thought , I didn’t think I was that out of shape. Then a sudden and pretty severe dizzy spell hit, but faded after 5 seconds or so. But it was enough to convince me something was amiss. So… See more

A few years ago, I was driving out of town with my teenage son for the weekend. I had been experiencing chest pain that would not go away and decided to check in with Paul Smith before I got too far from town. I pulled into a gas station and made the call and he answered right away. Reviewing my history, he knew that my situation was not a heart attack. He took the time to explain what was… See more

from Linda Lorraine in NV March 3, 2020 for Paul R. Smith, MD

I told Dr. Paul R. Smith that I must like men with his name, since my husband is also called Paul Smith. Both of them have enhanced the quality of my existence-- the latter as my spouse for almost 50 years and the former as my doctor for almost 8 years. Dr. Paul R. Smith is a terrific listener, he responds immediately whenever I communicate with him, he puts my test results in perspective,… See more

from Matthew in NV February 29, 2020 for Paul R. Smith, MD

When we have a medical problem, we want immediate attention. That is what we get from Dr. Smith. It amazes us how quickly he responds. We never would have thought he could do this but he does it every time. He cares.

from Craig in NV February 28, 2020 for Paul R. Smith, MD

Every visit is a great experience never in a hurry and always has a smile on his face and that makes me smile. Truly a great man.
Thank you for everything you do for me and my family.

from Mandy in NV March 6, 2018 for Paul R. Smith, MD

When my doctor first went to MDVIP, I felt I couldn't afford to go with him. I found I simply didn't go to the doctor that year. When I finally HAD to go, it was very uncomfortable having to talk to a stranger, having to go over my medical history for a simple prescription. Now, back with doctor Smith, I am happy. I can text him, email, or call on the weekends. I had an allergic… See more
