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.

Horrible Doctor. My Mother used this Doctor for years...unwillingly..only because no one else was available. I called the Dr's office within a day of my Mother dying..my mother always maintained a zero balance. Almost 6 months to the day of her death, a bill addressed to my deceased Mother appears in her mailbox asking for $25.78. Shame on them. The woman has been dead six months...no way to validate this charge. There is no money in the estate for pay for this charge. Insurance paid her already this is just a co pay. Shame on her being inconsiderate and money greedy. I called the receptionist and Accounts Payable and said the bill will not be paid. Stay away from this greedy doctor.

Ive been waiting for a call back from her since Apr 5th 2021. She is an incompetent irresponsible person. She doesn't take the needs of people seriously when requesting help. She should have her license revoked for misconduct and being irresponsible towards mental health patients. Very disappointing.

Very good psychiatrist. A real listener who will communicate with you in a very detailed way. She takes her time and doesn’t yawn watching the clock like some of her colleagues do. I have known for more than 20 years and was her patient for almost 19 years. I relocated overseas in June 2017. However I am going back to the States by the end of May and will definitely schedule an appointment with her. I forgot to mention that her receptionist is also very friendly

Having seen her for over a year now, I highly recommend Dr. Smolarski to anyone seeking mental help. I have referred many folks to her, and all have said that she has helped them. She is very compassionate, knows how to refer therapists in the area, handles medicine RX and therapy plans with you and let's you know that she is there for you. Once you get in to see her........don't let her go!!
