Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent and personable
Dr. Smock had an assistant who took notes so he was able to focus on his conversation with me rather than focusing on typing on his computer. Dr. smock was masterful in his ability to weave his examination into a very pleasant visit.

I think Dr Smock is a very good Doctor. He put a sent into a clogged artery. He has a very good bedside manner. My dad use to tell me: "in a emergency always be calm and show a calm face. It will put the person in need, a calmness. Just by "your" facial expression. Dr Smock is that kind of Doctor. I would not mind sitting and having a beer with him.
