Michael Smith

Every time I think of people that had a profound effect on my life´s journey, Dr. Mike is one of the first that comes to mind, not just as my physician, but as a friend.

We spent the rest of the...

To our friends the Smith family, The Lallas family of Modesto would like to share our sincere sympathies to you on your loss of Dr Smith. We are eternally grateful for his amazing care and his friendship. May his memory be eternal. We are blessed to have known him and call him a friend.

Maria and family- I only met Mike a couple of times but his caring personality was apparent. My family offers our prayers and thoughts for all of you at this time. I hope to make it to his mass at Holy Trinity where our friendship started. Love- Martha Austin McKinzie and family. God bless you.

Marilyn and I send our blessings to the Smith Family. We first met Mike and Maria in 1992 when Mike started working at the Maili Clinic in Hawaii. He brought a breath of fresh air to the clinic. He was an astute clinician that delivered excellent patient care. It was a pleasure working with him, he elevated the level of knowledge of those working around him, including myself. Beyond being an excellent physician he was enjoyable to talk to with a funny sense of humor, he loved his wife and...

I am saddened to have heard of Dr. Smith's passing. He will be remembered as an amazing physician who deeply cared for his patients like no other. I am so grateful to have worked with me as he taught me to be that strong woman I am today. My deepest condolences to Maria and family.
