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. Smith listened, asked questions and gave me the help I needed.

Great to see a doctor that you can actually feel like you have known for a while. , even though that was the first time I did see him. He treated me professionall , and treated me with the accurate meds for the bronchititis that I had been battling for 2weeks already and this was my second dr visit ( it was a minute clinic the first time) & I wish I went here the first time , maybe I would have been well by then! With the right prescriptions the second tome around , I got well!!!

Dr Smith is what I would look for in a family doctor. He listens examines and recommends. He takes your input in the plan to recovery.

I realize an urgent care doctor meets all sorts of patients he does not know, but I thought Dr. Smith was condescending to me in his approach to my ailment and treatment thereof. He should not assume his patients do not have some understanding of medical conditions or that they are not able to converse in intelligent ways.

Dr. Smith is a great doctor. Very professional. A great listener. Gets to the heart of the problem. Very good with diagnosis. Very prompt with treatment and tells you what to do next if problem does not resolve. I appreciate his candor, his expertise and his understanding of medicine and patient care.

I have had a lot of cromic pain from 5 surgery's on my lower back, but after moving back here. Every dr, NP an PA, have treat me like an addict. Have haveing severe pain on my upper spine. He is the 1st Dr that I have seen, who not. He actually understood an gave me meds that worked. I'm 50 yrs old. I don't even drink. But if he felt the same as others, he didn't show it.

I've used Dr. Smith a few times, if he did private practice, I would switch physicians immediately. He's very caring, nice, and takes time with his patients. He has never run you thru his office like some doctors who want to see how many patients they can see a day. His office staff are wonderful and caring also
