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.

Great experience
Super friendly and happy to listen to our concerns. Clear and concise feedback from his evaluation of our daughter. He’s one of the good ones.

5 year visit
Dr Smith, is always the best pediatrician for both my children he talks to them like they are his patients and not just a number in the system. This is one of the reasons we followed him from another practice.

Hands-down best Dr. in the area
We have been visiting with Dr Smith for 10 years now, and we always are completely impressed by the way that he respects my son and makes conversation with me. He is extremely kind and understanding and we always love his bowties.

Couldn’t tell me what’s wrong with my children
Did not care for him. Couldn’t pinpoint what’s been ailing my children (infant and toddler) for the last month. Said it’s more than likely not RSV or whooping cough but did a whooping cough test on my infant to rule it out, but then proceeded to tell me to start them on antibiotics in case they are positive…..Why ruin their gut flora and put them on a harsh antibiotic without knowing for sure?? Also, he seemed annoyed in general and has a bland and impersonable personality. When I was not looking and helping my toddler with something, my back was turned and my baby started crying really hard while he was examining him…..he said whoops just startled him, I didn’t hurt him. I thought that was a very strange thing to say…

Dr. Smith is one of the most caring Doctors I have ever met. He remembers all my kids and goes above and beyond to help each one of them. I couldn’t ask for a better Doctor for my babies.

We needed to rescreen our seemingly neurodivergent child. We were offered multiple avenues for assessment and given a likely direction to move forward with.

Never again
To the people who censor these review. You're a joke. When someone can't write an honest review on a review site, you're just perpetuating problems in the health care. People have a right to know how we were treated by this doctor.

Simply the Best!
We have seen Dr. Smith since birth. He has patiently answered many nervous mom questions over the last decade. He has always had compassion and wisdom. He knows when it is just me needing some reassurance and when we need to dig deeper. He has consulted specialists when needed and expedited our appointments. He cares deeply and we are forever grateful to have him.
