Patient Reviews
Sep 19, 2023
I have been a patient of Dr. Smart on and off for 20 years. He consulted when I was first diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy. I regressed 10 years later, so I began seeing him at LSU. He takes his time and educates me on the latest treatments. So relatable and easy to talk to. You can see how dedicated he is to each patient. I am living my best life because of his experience and first rate care.
