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.

Could not see it if a snake bit him
For our situation, my wife had some exposed bone that was dying and poking through the gum. Very painful. She went to a dentist twice and they could not find it. They sent us to Dr. Smith who is the expert ENT I guess. He never found it and kept guessing around the issue. We went back to the dentist and the dental assistant found the issue. It was not that hard to find if dentists these days would only do their own work. Anyway, Dr. Smith never had a clue. Our insurance paid okay, but the diagnosis was lacking.

I had treatment by another doctor and it was to no avail. Doctor Smith used a total different approach and it almost eliminated my nose bleeds. I am very please with his application.

Dr. Smith is friendly, kind and very gentle. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and doesn't immediately jump in pills or surgery. His staff is outstanding! Everyone treats you like a person, not just a number! I highly recommend him for any of your Ear, Nose or Throat concerns.

Dr. Smith and staff are very attentive and caring. The Dr. gives you options without wanting to go to the knife first like others I have seen.
