Navigating healthcare costs can often feel as complex as the procedures themselves, especially in surgery. Smith Medical, a leading direct-pay specialty care provider, is redefining the patient experience by delivering transparent, fair pricing for surgical care. The approach?
Complete removal of the insurance middleman, eliminating surprise bills, and ensuring accessible, high-quality care for both insured and uninsured individuals. With this model, patients know exactly what their procedure costs—upfront.
For patients seeking procedures like gynecomastia surgery or ENT surgeries, the path to care can often feel out of reach, especially when insurance isn’t available. Without coverage, the high costs of traditional healthcare facilities may lead individuals to delay or avoid necessary treatments, potentially impacting their health and self-confidence.
Smith Medical provides a solution by offering transparent, insurance-free pricing for these procedures, making quality care accessible to those who might otherwise go without. Patients struggling to find affordable options for life-improving surgeries like gynecomastia correction or septoplasty can find relief knowing the total cost of their procedure upfront, with no hidden fees or unexpected bills. Smith Medical’s direct-pay model empowers uninsured individuals to receive the transformative care they need, bridging the gap in accessibility and allowing patients to regain both physical comfort and confidence.
Superior Value in Surgical Care
At Smith Medical, quality healthcare is not a privilege but a right. Patients can expect a thorough, compassionate approach to care led by some of the nation’s top-rated surgeons. Specialties range from common cosmetic surgeries like rhinoplasty and gynecomastia to complex reconstructive procedures, all with fair pricing that often undercuts hospital-based services.
Smith Medical’s system benefits self-paying individuals, uninsured patients, and self-insured employers by offering cost-effective surgical solutions. Each procedure has a predetermined, fixed price, ensuring that patients experience zero financial surprises post-operation.
A Clear and Simple Process
When scheduling surgery at Smith Medical, the process is streamlined to reduce any administrative burdens. Patients are greeted by a friendly and professional intake team, like nurses Eddy and Amy, who make the initial steps as comfortable as possible. Surgeons, such as Dr. Fitzgerald and Dr. Yi, bring skill and empathy, explaining procedures in clear terms to ease patient anxiety. Patients report exceptional experiences throughout, feeling valued, heard, and cared for.
From the initial consultation through recovery, the Smith Medical process is patient-centered and free from the convoluted explanations and hidden fees commonly found in insurance-based billing.
This direct-pay approach enables patients to budget effectively, whether they’re considering ENT procedures like septoplasty or nasal turbinate reduction or addressing urological or spine concerns. For instance, a patient looking for nose surgery in Denver can now expect a simple, transparent answer to the question, “How much does it cost?” rather than being subjected to potential hidden fees and administrative hurdles.
Patients should also note that we have partnered with Zero Health Card to make surgical costs easier.

Patient-Centric Care: Hear from Our Patients
“From check-in to check-out, from the front desk check-in to helping me to the car after foot surgery, the staff and experience was fantastic! Eddy made me feel relaxed and was very informative and friendly. Mary the O.R nurse was very nice and helpful. Some of the best care I have received from any surgical facility. I would definitely come back here!”- Terri A.
Smith Medical patients consistently report positive experiences, citing the quality of care as well as the compassion and professionalism of the staff. Patients like Terri A., who recently underwent foot surgery, highlight the seamless experience from check-in to recovery, emphasizing how each member of the staff—from OR nurses to anesthesiologists—contributes to a relaxed, informed, and supported experience.
Patient Michelle H. notes that the team, including Dr. Greenhow and various support staff, made her hip replacement surgery feel manageable and comforting despite initial fears.
“Smith Medical is an excellent facility! Since I do not have insurance, their self-pay package was an extremely affordable option for me. A third of the cost of having my surgery at a hospital. But even for those insured, it would be a place to consider for your surgical needs and could save you money on your co-pay. The entire staff was amazing as well- highly competent, kind and accommodating!”- Lisa O.
Lisa O., a self-paying patient, stresses the affordability of Smith Medical’s direct-pay packages, which offered her a surgical experience at a fraction of hospital costs. Like many others, she appreciated the nonjudgmental and welcoming environment Smith Medical fosters.
