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.

Experience with Dr. Smith
Dr. Smith has been my physician for the last 16 years and when he went to the MDVIP platform we did sign up. I had my first wellness visit with him and the time and amount of testing was complete and very informative. Dr. Smith took the time to answer all my questions and go over all my results with me.

I have been going to Dr. Smith and Evers for over 25 years. They have the most wonderful group of people working there. Chris Shavers the PA is also as educated and he’s a joy to be seen by. The nurses are spectacular. Dr. Evers is a dermatologist and Dr. Smiths wife. She is just as wonderful as well being so good she gets booked up very quickly. Dr . Smith is always taking new patients because he has the staff that can provide phenomenal care. They are off of 70 in the Bellevue One area!!!

I have been going to Dr. Smith for 21 years. He is the most courteous, respectful caring doctor I have EVER had, which is why I've been going to him for 21 years. He sits and listens to all you have to say. He does not run from room to room just to get through patients. He treats me like i'm his only patient and certainly i'm not. He follows through with his promises, does not forget anything. He is an amazing Dr. At my age of 58 I need to know, as most do and I am. So will you!!!!!! GMD

As a patient of Dr Smith's, I am extremely happy with his level of engagement. He's thorough, he's interested, he speaks to you rather than generically, and his NP, Chris Shavers is also top notch. I highly recommend this office, this staff and this physician. Five stars!!!
