    He was the BEST doctor I’ve ever met, and I’ve met dozens. I felt so cared about and he actively listened and took my concerns to heart. I’m going through cancer and I felt his concern and willingness to do everything he could to help me with why I was there. And he did. That man is amazing and I wish all doctors were like Dr. Smith
