About

Dr. Stephen P. Smith, Jr., MD is a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon practicing in Gahanna, Ohio. He specializes in Facial Plastic Surgery, Aesthetics, and Functional Medicine. Dr. Smith emphasizes that surgical technique is key to achieving natural-looking facelift results. He utilizes methods like the deep plane facelift, which repositions deeper facial tissues to create a refreshed appearance without a tight or pulled look, aiming for patients to look like a more refreshed version of themselves. For upper blepharoplasty, his approach focuses on preserving natural features. Dr. Smith's practice offers a comprehensive approach to care, recognizing that understanding internal bodily processes is important for external aesthetic concerns. This includes functional medicine consultations and wellness support from the inside out, with many services, such as perimenopause education and laser hair removal, led by Nurse Practitioner Wendy Currier. The practice also provides advanced aesthetic treatments like TriLift, which uses a multi-layered approach to address muscle tone, skin firmness, contour, and texture, and MOXI laser for improving skin tone and texture with minimal downtime.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$170

Payments

7

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Stephen P. Smith, Jr. received $170 across 7 payments in 2025. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
