I write this recommendation as a recently retired surgical physician who worked with Dr. Jesse Smith for over a decade. I recently had a small cancer on my tongue and Dr. Smith performed surgery to remove that as well as to check the lymph nodes in the right side of my neck.
I can only say that his expertise, compassion, and, yes, sense of humor helped me incredibly to make it through this process.
His office in the hospital district is nothing special from the outside, but nicely remodeled inside. The staff are all warm and welcoming and extremely friendly. From what I have seen, he manages to stay pretty much on time with his appointments.
Though I am a medical professional, myself, a cancer of the head and neck is a scary and intimidating thing. Despite my knowledge and subsequent concerns, he laid it all out nicely for me and was encouraging as to the ultimate results. He visited me in the hospital before and after the surgery and made sure I had proper instructions and medications when I went home. His office has followed up with several phone calls.
I have extensive experience with physicians in Fort Worth and, to a limited extent, Dallas. I would place him at the top of the heap for head and neck surgeons. read more
