Review for Dr. Smith

Dr. White has been following me for years, and I highly recommend her. I had previously been misdiagnosed with kidney stones, and she was able to determine the actual cause of my pain. She always takes time to explain and answer any questions I have. She is very compassionate, truly cares about her...

Review for Dr. White

He wasn't responsive with my family member and showed lack of empathy towards their concerns and had them on the wrong medications.
