Midlife Wellness Center, Brenda S. Smith, M.D. 1201 Northwest Briarcliff Parkway, Kansas City, MO 64116

"I was referred to Dr Brenda Smith about 6 years ago by a friend of mine. She has been one of my Doctors ever since. What I found, was care that my traditional male gynecologists were not giving. It is very helpful and assuring to have a woman doctor who is sensitive to my concerns, and thoroughly answers my questions. She provides a complete assessment of my nutritional, hormonal, emotional, and physical well being. Her recommendations for me have all proven to be leading me down the right path for my health. After any bloodwork that's tested every year, SHE calls me and gives a complete review of progress or setbacks with any accolades or suggestions for improvement in the upcoming year. I have a direct line to a doctor who's in touch with how traditional medicine may or may not benefit my situation and each year has steered me in best direction for my optimal well being. I've never had a doctor I could call or text that would check back with me and answer a question that had come up about my health. Even my husband has commented when I've had a health concern, "Call Dr Smith and see what she thinks." Such a valuable person she has become to me. I look forward to my hour of her undivided attention to my health conditions and concerns every year, and would highly recommend her to any woman."

"I have been seeing Dr. Smith since 2010 and am extremely grateful for her expertise, insight, and unique practice. She was the first doctor who treated my whole person and not just an isolated symptom. She takes time to listen (without judging) and returns calls personally. She has been considerate of my varying insurance coverage and, while she does make recommendations for supplements, she does not sell them herself as a previous doctor did. She goes over lab results with me and always has some relevant educational component to share. Under her care, I have been able to manage my PCOS, have regular menstrual cycles, lower my cholesterol and high blood pressure to normal range, eliminate migraine medication, and experience renewed vitality and improved mood. A former OB/GYN, Dr. Smith's recommendations are science-based, not New Age-y or based on current fads. Her office manager, Brenda, is professional, efficient, warm, and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Smith to any woman in midlife who isn't feeling herself or feels that her concerns have been discounted by conventional medicine. It's a different model of care, but it's totally worth it in my opinion."

"I love Dr. Smith and tell all my friends about her! It is so wonderful to talk with a doctor who takes the time to really listen to my symptoms and discusses with me the ways my physical health impact (and are impacted by) all other areas of my life. I never feel rushed at my appointments. One of my favorite things about Dr. Smith is that she is a realist. She doesn't just throw out a list of "you should be doing these activities and stop doing these activities." She understands that lifestyle changes are challenging and suggests ways to make healthier choices that are manageable. One of my friends recommended Dr. Smith to me several years ago and I am so happy I followed her advice and become a patient at Midlife Wellness Center! PS: Brenda, who runs the administrative end of the office is super friendly and makes the business end of things easy."

"Dr. Brenda Smith has been my physician for approximately 10 years. There are not enough words to express the personal, individual, well-researched and attention to detail that I receive from her. She is interested in optimal health, not just middle of the road. My health and well being are a true testament to her counsel. I consider her a one in a million "health" professional and friend. If you are a woman who is genuinely interested in maintaining your quality of life throughout your life, Dr. Smith is the premium choice in Kansas City. She only chooses the best and her assistant, Brenda Knehans is an irreplaceable gem!"

"Since meeting Dr. Smith in July 2018, I have been so pleased with her services through The Midlife Wellness Center. After several years of trying to get solutions from other physicians for my symptoms, Dr. Smith is finally helping me to live a healthier and happier life. Her thorough evaluation and diagnosis, along with a research based treatment approach, has made a tremendous positive impact on my health and healing. Dr. Smith and her Office Manager, Brenda, always treat me with kindness, compassion, and professionalism. They take the time to respond to my questions for all of my healthcare needs. I highly recommend Dr. Smith to any woman experiencing midlife health challenges."
