Dr. Smith is 90% of the reason I am still here to respond to this survey. The damage to my heart was extensive and it was because of her diligence and skill, that it was repaired, and that Iam able to continue answer surveys that don't reflect how incredibly gifted many of your Dr's are.

I think I have been emailed the survey on the same provider three times and I have completed it three times, this provider has saved my life at least on three occasions. Would recommend her to anyone? The answer is hell yes!!!

Christy Smith saved my life by putting in an LVAD, then scrubbing out an infection that went all the way from my skin to the device.I owe her my life. The VAD was put in 5 1/2 years ago. With her help I got to be with three grandchildren and my three children's families. And with my husband who has stuck with me thru tough medical issues.
