Dr. Darin Scott Smith, MD

I cannot recommend Dr. Darin Smith highly enough. He is not just an exceptional eye surgeon – he is a fine person with a fantastic personality who truly cares about his patients. Dr. Smith's credentials are impressive. He earned his BA from Indiana University (1986-1990) with a double major in biology and chemistry, graduating 7th in a class of 1,538. He went on to earn his MD from Duke University (1990-1994), completed his internship at Roanoke Memorial Hospital (1994-1995), and finished his residency at University of Texas Southwestern/Parkland Hospital. But what sets Dr. Smith apart goes far beyond his education. I first met him in 2000, and he has cared for both my wife and me ever since. Over these years, he has performed cataract surgery on both of us, lens implants for both of us, and laser surgery on me. When there was a minor complication with my lens implant, he was reassuring and supportive. I told him I wasn't worried at all because I knew he was standing in my… corner. Dr. Smith takes extra time with his patients. My grandfather went blind in later life due to diabetes, and Dr. Smith is particularly attentive to my eye health because of this family history. He carefully monitors me and provides reassurance that I'm healthy with no signs of diabetes in my vision. After all these years, I consider Dr. Darin Smith not just my doctor, but my friend. If you're looking for an ophthalmologist who combines exceptional skill with genuine compassion, look no further.

Dr. Smith is knowledgeable, patient and kind. He explains his procedures and everything that he does in understandable terminology.

After being with Dr Kimble for over 18 years it was hard to switch over to Dr. Smith. After a couple of visits, we finally hit it off and he has been wonderful ever cents. He has taken great care of my eyes. I have glaucoma and I feel that he is on top of everything.
