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.

Dr. Donald Smith is a very kind thorough physician. He listens carefully to the patient’s individualized condition. He takes the time to review and explain any imaging results. He performed a 2 level ACDF on me and it has made a significant improvement in my quality of life. I would highly recommend him as a skilled neurosurgeon.

On January 25,2019 Dr.Smith implanted a brain shunt into my head. It turned out beautifully. All follow up with Dr.Smith has been nothing but positive. His staff is very helpful and friendly in every ways possible. I think he and his team are the best.

If you can get in at all. Wanted a second opinion on a surgical consultation, but I was told I needed a referral from the diagnosing physician which is awkward to ask for. Thanks for nothing. Would not re commend.

Had to wait for new patient appt. but well worth it. The man has a heart, as for many others I have been to not so much. He ran on time even though they said he wasn't. Gave options as well as taking time to talk to me. My husband liked him too. Can't wait to see what we come up with. Thank you.

I am delighted with Dr. Smith & his staff - since my 1st call for an appointment they have gone above & beyond to meet my needs. Dr. Smith seems a lifesaver. Within MINUTES he had diagnosed my problem and lined up a plan for resolution with medication through an associate Neurologist specializing in my problem! YEA! My previous Neurologist had no clue after over 1.5 years! I may have dismay at the diagnosis BUT there is a plan and I KNOW Dr Smith will resolve it. Oh yeah, Terrie is a dream
