Dr. Daniel Kieran Smith, MD

Dr. Daniel Smith does not even earn the surname Dr.!!! So, I had a few appointments with Daniel and he came in all in a hurry. He barely looked in my ears, nose and throat and asked what the problem was. I informed him that I was still having problems with my right ear being clogged from a year ago. He asked if I went to the ear specialist. I said that he told me was That he couldn’t do anything for me and to plug my nose and blow!! Daniel was very impatient from the beginning!! I will NEVER see this person again!! He probably doesn’t even read these but I hope other patients post their experiences with him. He must retire if he hates his job. UGH

If you want a lot of expensive tests instead of actual results, this is your doctor.

After 7 years and several ENTs, Dr. Smith solved my dilemma and came up with medicine that helps alleviate my ear problem, ETD. He was focused on what would relieve my problem. I can function now.

He had an air of impatience and didn't want to listen to my concerns. I felt like he was trying to get the appointment over with ASAP. He didn't take the time to explain things well. Rather condescending.

He kept interrupting me when I'd try to make comments or ask questions. He acted like he was in a great hurry to finish the appointment. I had several unanswered questions and concerns. He didn't offer any possible explanations for the recent onset of tinnitus and ear pain; he merely said it would probably go away and use other sounds to distract me. He was uninterested in discussing the possible effects of GERD on my ear and throat symptoms. This was a useless appointment and bad clinical experience. Listen to the patient, doc!

At 65 years of age and having had several major surgeries I've been around doctors long enough to know when I've found a good one. Without going into a long winded dissertation I'll just say Dr. Smith is great and I gladly give him my highest recommendation.
