September 05, 2024SOUTH JORDAN HEALTH CENTERDr. Kristine Smith seemed nice at first but became very condesending (almost hostile) when it came to treating pain after surgery.
July 25, 2024SOUTH JORDAN HEALTH CENTERDr Smith and her team have provided me with a greatly improved quality of life, starting as early as my initial consultations, and continuing through her skillful handling of my surgery. Dr Smith is not only a skilled medical provider, but also has fantastic bedside manner. Her thorough and detailed consultations prepared me completely for my procedure and beyond. My most sincere thanks to Dr Smith and her entire team. Thank you!!
