        General Info
        Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, Dr. Smoot developed a keen interest in science at an early age. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Utah and served in a medical unit in the U.S. National Guard, an experience that solidified his decision to become a surgeon. Dr. Smoot graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine in 1982 and went on to complete his general surgery residency at Providence Hospital and an additional 2-year fellowship in facial plastic & reconstructive surgery at St. Josephs’ Hospital. Before joining LJCSC, Dr. Smoot practiced at the San Diego Plastic Surgery Clinic for over 20 years, working alongside his brother, Wendell D. Smoot III, MD, FACS, who is now retired. Dr. Smoot has an extraordinary depth of skill and experience in plastic surgery that make him highly sought after for breast, body, and facial surgery alike. He is well-known in La Jolla for his advanced scar-reducing techniques with breast lift surgery. In addition to breast enhancement, facial rejuvenation and body contouring surgery comprise a substantial portion of his practice. Dr. Smoot has been board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery since 1990 and has served as Chief of Plastic Surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, where he remains on staff. He is also an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and the California Society of Plastic Surgeons.

        Overall
        terrible

        left me with a horrible condition due to surgery errors (didn't control bleeding, and did not place my tissue back properly), and then blew me off. he is lucky I did not have the physical strength to sue him. Absolutely , unequivocally horrible. My friend went to him before me and had more than one encapsulation. there is a medication called "accolate", that prevents that condition. The dumby never prescribed it, and probably doesn't even know it exists!!
