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.

Takes your well-being & health concerns seriously
I wouldn't see anyone else. Dr. Smolen will take the time to sit down with you and find out how you truly are doing. You will never be rushed through your appointment; you will never be denied to opportunity to discuss any concern you may have - and it will be taken seriously. Yes, you may wait a bit past your appointment time, but that's because every patient is granted the same careful attention. It's worth it. Dr. Smolen has my unconditional trust; how often can you say that of anyone?

Dr. Daniel Smolen
I have been seeing Dr. Smolen for the last 30 something years. Although the appointment wait times are rather long and his bedside manner just a little rough I have found him to be very knowledgeable and willing to explain things in a way you can understand. His office staff are very professional and friendly and work with you on appointments. Overall he is a good Doctor and adviser.

Dr Smolen is top of the line. Very dedicated getting to know you personally. Our physical health depends on emotional and mental health and taking the time to see you as a whole person helps him to treat you more appropriately. Most Drs only look at their specialty and therefore miss important factors that can be affecting your problem. Thank you Dr Smolen for many years of superb care! Seth and Wilma

Dr. Smolen takes a personal interest and takes time to get to know his patients, the whole person: physical, psychological, spiritual. He does take time which is helpful, but also a problem I have experienced is that he comes late to start his office hours.

Dr Smolen has been our family doctor for 40 years. I find him very caring and knowlegable about my ailments. At times when it was necessary to see a specialist I would call Dr S afterward to discuss my visit. I trust his knowlege and guidance.

Dr Smolen has been our family doctor for 20 years. He is very caring and extremely thorough! He is very knowledgeable and his diagnosis are always right! You know you are in great hands when he examines you and looks at you rather than the computer. His staff is very helpful and kind. Overall a great team!

My appointment was at 11:30 am. It is now 12:56 pm and I'm still waiting in the lobby. This is a consistent issue. The first patient appointment is made for 10am and around 10:30 he calls the office to say he's on his way in. Very inconsideration of people's time. I will be changing my PCP today.
