Dr. Paul David Smith, MD

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Smith, I am an RN and unfortunately underwent a double mastectomy at Moffitt Cancer Center after a breast cancer diagnosis. After extensive research into reconstructive options, I chose to have a DIEP Flap reconstruction. I consulted with Dr. Smith and he reviewed my options, in order of risks, outcomes, recovery, etc. I chose to proceed with him and just finished my final procedure. I look amazing for going from no breasts and flat, to beautifully reconstructed breasts. No implants, all my own tissue. I am still amazed every day when I look in the mirror. I like to say this was the icing on my non-existent cake. I could not be happier and would and have highly recommend Dr. Paul Smith and Moffitt Cancer Center.

The absolutely worst bedside manner conceivable.

It is shocking that someone with this kind of bedside manner is still practicing.

I had a total mastectomy and the plastic surgeon I went to in the Orlando area made my breasts with implants mishaped and different sizes. It was awful to look at myself in the mirror. A plastic surgeon I am friendly with told me about Dr. Smith being the best at breast reconstruction and highly recommended him to me. Also another plastic surgeon in NYC also recommended Dr. Paul Smith as who I should go and see. He is a perfectionist and did an amazing job!

Dr. Paul Smith was recommended by my fiance's oncologist, insurance was good, he came highly recommended. We got there an hour early as instructed, then when the surgeon came out into the hallway and asked for 4 needles, myself and my fiance knew something was wrong. An hour later we had our consult and he told my fiance (who after a month of tests, MRIs, cat scans, blood work, the run around) who was scheduled for surgery that he was refusing to treat her. It didn't matter how.much pain and for his long she has had it Take IB proven, he said. That is a serious no no for patients with GI issues (once again he didn't review my finances file) Then for theatrical purpose felt the area for a rupture and said, "I'm not touching you." You have a history of surgeries, past smoking and no "'definitive evidence of a problem." Every excuse in the book to get us out the door. Even when she screamed in pain and jumped up on the exam table. I asked him, "so doc, what do we do now?" His response… at first was "i dont know" then he recommended a doctor in a different county who he conveniently couldn't remember the doctors name. My fiance was told by Moffitt Cancer surgery was today, now we are being pushed off to an unknown doctor in Bradenton, even then she has to deal with excruciating pain (which he did nothing about, in addition to not reviewing current medications) do who knows how long. Ridiculous, I felt like I knew more than he and he was scared or didn't see a profit. The best part is that I have it recorded and so does the doctor. There is something called the hippocratic oath, and I feel this man who calls himself a plastic surgeon or even medical doctor is inhumane has broken that oath. What do we do, go to the ER and get treatment there? Or worse yet, if a 10 year old implant ruptures (if he would have looked at the images he would have seen the lump and/or rupture), he (Dr. Paul Smith M.D. of Moffitt Cancer ?) may have a bigger problem. Do your beloved family member or God forbid, yourself a favor and save yourself the false sense of security with Dr. Paul Smith and Moffitt Cancer, research a humane organization, not a money mill, or a trial and error student surgeon. I think we may fly to Canada. More humane up there.

If you want to be body shamed, this is your man!

Was confident in his initial game plan. Changed his approach day of surgery. This change lead to years of complication and restrictions.

Was not given all the power of choice. He made decisions i should have made

Very pleased with all aspects of this surgery. Professional staff, surgical process that allowed for excellent healing, low pain and beautiful results. Other sisters used doctors in separate state and were amazed at my experience and results.

I just had a rhinoplasty/chin surgery with Dr. Paul Smith. He really took his time and did an incredible job. I felt comfortable working with Dr. Smith throughout this entire experience because he truly cares about the patients he works with and wants the absolute best look for them. He is great at what he does and is truly a talented artist. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to have plastic surgery.
