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.

MDVIP and Dr. Smith came highly recommended. On his first examination he recognized a heart murmur that he felt would require surgery later in life.

Forgot to bring enough nebulizer refills while traveling across country. My VIP Dr. was able to call in a refill which saved me a 3hr ER wait and exposure to high volume of COVID & flu cases. So grateful to begin breathing treatments ASAP without a long wait time.

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.
