Dr. Ryan Smith, MD

There is no adequate description of Dr. Smith's surgical and medical talents and expertise that would do him justice! I began seeing Dr. Smith in September of 2021 regarding a vocal cord disorder and additional issues related to my septum, which exacerbated my Vocal Cord Dysfunction as a result of post nasal drainage and a terribly deviated septum. When Dr. Smith discussed with me how I could benefit from a septoplasty, I considered having the procedure, but foolishly delayed it for two years as a result of my surgical fears. Fast forward to 2023 - I decided that I needed to put aside my severe anxiety and bite the bullet and have the procedure done in addition to a rhinoplasty to correct a terrible childhood trauma to my nose. Of all of the Physicians that I have visited over the course of thirteen years, Dr. Smith is the ONLY one who took my concerns seriously and encouraged me without being overbearing. I highly encourage anyone who is considering surgery to schedule an appointment!

I have been a patient of Dr. Ryan Smith at Rush University Medical Center in the initial months of 2021. He is an amazing doctor and human being. Not only he is an excellent surgeon, but also he has gone the extra mile to deal with my insurance. If you are looking for a surgeon to perform a closed (or open) approach to rhinoplasty, he should be one of your top choices to consider.

I saw Doctor Smith for a tumor on my masseter muscle. He was able to protect my facial nerves and avoid any outside scar on the face by removing the tumor intraorally. He did a wonderful job. He explained in detail any risks or benefits and all of my options. Dr. Smith patiently answered all my questions and was never in a hurry when working with me. I can't recommend him enough.
