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.

Long wait times, rushed visits. Unwilling to listen to patients, or answer any questions.

Dr. Smyer and his staff have been great! We drive 2 hours to see him, that says enough! The staff is quick to respond and Dr. Smyer doesn't make you feel rushed. Overall a great experience

The doctor was not too bad from the 30 seconds I spent with him. His staff are horrible. It felt like a social gathering. The woman at the front counter kept pushing newly arrival patients in front of us even after waiting 45 minutes past our appointment time. The nurses seemed more interested in telling stories to each other then tending to the patients. Once I was called back I sat the room for another 45 minutes before the doctor came in.

Dr Smyer is a one of a kind MD he's very straight forward and to the point he also likes to ensure that he finds an answer to whatever is going on with you! He is very smart and has always taken excellent care of me! He goes above and beyond each time I see him. He also always requests lab work to ensure the correct diagnosis has been made! I will see him and only him as my PCP as long as he is practicing medicine
