About Me
I am a nurse practitioner who specializes in working with outpatients in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I regularly care for patients with conditions such as autoimmune liver disease, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, cirrhosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
I believe in establishing a collaborative relationship with each patient. When patients come to see me, they can trust I will educate them about their diagnosis and treatment options and do everything I can to improve their quality of life.
I’m passionate about delivering the highest quality of care and I appreciate the resources available at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center that help make that possible. I highly value working for an academic medical center with such a strong commitment to innovative research, education and exceptional patient care.

Super super professional and extra advice to improve my health
Dr Maribeth Smith was so courteous and very concerned about my well being. She never threw big medical terms at me and spoke in a very clear and precise way and always with a comforting smile. She was so wonderful!
The provider was good. Short and to the point. Answered my questions.

She was very cordial.
I really like her. She seemed caring & made sure that all my questions were answered.
Very knowledgeable
Maribeth was great! Explained things and listened to me.
Good so far,
I honestly do not believe that she had helpful things to say to me regarding my condition. I don't believe that she listened to my concerns with an open mind. I believe she already had a foregone conclusion. I did that like the fact that I had to tell her additional health conditions while she typed it in on my record. That should have been available, and that is indicative of poor electronic record keeping within the Wexner Medical Center. I just don't think that this provider is a good fit for me.
Everything was Great!!!
Treat me with respect
First time I had met with her - she was very up front and helpful.
She was awesome and answered all my questions
Maribeth Smith APRN-CNP made me feel very comfortable in asking her any questions I had. She kept her vocabulary very understandable. And when saying any medical term she didn't mind explaining what it was. Her psychological output was so easy to follow and made me feel well tuned in.
The PA I thought was very thorough and answered all my questions and concerns
Was not trying to hear most of the things that I was saying about the medication that was prescribed as I was trying to explain that one of the medication that was prescribed had major side effects, but the care provider kept trying to push this med on me to take
1st time seeing this provider. Seemed knowledgeable, courteous and professional
She was thorough, intelligent, and knowledgeable.
Love her! Always takes the time to listen and answer my questions.
She was really nice and seemed to care and listen to me. Answered my questions and let me know my blood test results within in a few days
I had no bad experiences
No problems at all explained everything
Good excellent
She took her time to explain everything to me and also told me she would be gone for two weeks. That some of my blood work might not be back before she goes on vacation but she would make sure someone lets me know what the results are and make sure everything is scheduled for me for the future i.e blood work and ultrasound.
Very Happy
She is a very nice doctor and really seemed to care.
Very knowledgeable and thorough with going over what she could with me.
She listened to my concerns and helped me get other appointments I need.
Liked how she explained things & asked me questions and if I had any.
Maribeth was so courteous and gave me a wonderful experience with a doctor.
She had reviewed all my history and knew all about me before I came in. This was our first visit. She was very knowledgeable, and very clear explaining everything. I felt like I was in excellent hands. She got my test and procedure scheduled urgently. They were in contact with me several times.
Dr. Smith is an excellent doctor, thorough and knowledgeable. I also really appreciate how responsive she is to my questions in MyChart Messages.
She explained what was needed.
All good
I really like my care provider. She is VERY nice and knowledgeable. Very kind to me & my friend who was with me.
Good.
Very thorough, described things in a way I could understand.
I was impressed with her on my initial 3 months prior to this once w/Dr. Wellner. Flying solo on this appointment exceeded my expectations.
SHE IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND KNOWLEDEABLE, AND I FEEL CONFIDENT IN HER TAKING CARE OF ME DURING MY HEPATITIS C TREATMENT.
