Excellent care from Dr. Smith
-
Dr. Smith was so very calming. I was pretty worked up over my situation, but he kept me in the moment and listened to my concerns and questions. I really appreciated how he didn't immediately start discussing surgery or treatment options but still let me know we needed to keep a close eye on things.
-
He seemed really busy with other stuffs not his patient.
-
Very good
-
Answere my questions
-
Doctor was able to see pertinent medical records as we discussed them.
-
Dr. Smith seems to keep me and my problems as far away as possible and to get through every appointment as fast as possible. Some eye contact would be a nice addition to his repertoire. I feel guilty that I'm wasting his valuable time if I have a question.

Good Experience!

This was the first time visiting Dr.Smith. He was super knowledgeable and educated us on options for future treatments if necessary. He listened and was very patient answering all questions to better understand the treatment plan.
-
Great care
-
I loved that they started with asking me what I thought was happening, and my main concerns as to why I came in, and then they reviewed my chart and spoke to me about what they're saying, and involved me in some decision-making processes that could either end up with me stopping any type of work or treatment at that point or continue to try and find out what's happening. I love that I was involved as part of my own healthcare, and I love that the person I worked with was willing to give me that chance!
-
Very professional and knowledgeable
-
Again, prepared and professional
-
I am very satisfied and impressed with Dr. Smith. I feel I am in good hands.
