Dr Smith has practiced cosmetic-plastic surgery at the Southdale Medical Building in Edina, Minnesota since 1985. Since 1989 we proudly have our own AAAASF certified plastic surgery office operating room and we do 99% of our cosmetic surgery there. We find this is important to carefully optimize our staff, equipment, instruments, your privacy and your results. Our patients appreciate optimal plastic surgery delivered with privacy and cost efficiency.

Dr Smith was born and raised in Minneapolis Minnesota and lives there currently with his family. He has made several trips to Madagascar and Papua, New Guinea to perform volunteer surgery. Interests are family, cooking, gardening and visiting northern Minnesota.
