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.

Help when you need it!
We would recommend Virginia Smith to others needing help with sleeplessness or other issues. After attempting to find services in Omaha, we were so glad to find her. So many facilities have waitlists and people need help when they seek it! Virginia Smith has been extremely helpful and is very knowledgeable. She really listens and is easy to talk to.

Great Experience
With over 20 years of on and off seeking mental health support, I have never met a psychiatrist that was as in depth as Virginia. She spent a lot of time with me and was able to help me get the DNA report to use the best meds specific for me. She also referred me to TMS which has significantly changed my life. Virginia actually cares and takes time to ask questions and listen to me. She has also called me after hours when I had requested a medication. I highly recommend her

Caring listener, attentive, and knowledgeable
I've been seeing Virginia for a few years now and couldn't be happier with the care and knowledge she's provided. Knowledgeable of mental health and medications. Genuinely cares and wants to get you in a place where you love life and yourself again.

It has been a relief to work with a provider I feel safe with as we worked through what treatment was best for me. She always took any concerns seriously and cheered me on through the process. My life is so much better now.

Amazing medical approach. I have had the worst experiences with three different doctors with my psych medications. Once finding Virgina Smith things this far have changed. She took time to actually listen to me and my psychiatric medication needs. She slowly introduced medications at lose doses to see how they would interact with my body- this is something the other doctors never did. I began this year over medicated causing extreme manic and depressive episodes. Finally after a very rough time with other doctors, withdrawals and allergic reactions; Virgina was able to help me once I came to her looking for help. Very thankful so far for her patient centered approach.

I find her to be a true professional in her field. You can tell that she genuinely cares about you and really wants to help. She gets to know you and has good follow through. She has many years of experience and can relate to your issues.

Absolutely great 100% recommend
Virginia is great, she always listens and is caring, but not in an enabling way. She gets to really know her patients and works with them to determine treatment. Virginia genuinely cares for her patients and what is happening. She is diligent about making sure patients are responded to in a timely manor and takes all concerns seriously if they are brought to her.

Do not go to her!

So I was seeing Virginia Smith for a while. It was going good till just recently. She told me I was waisting her time and being disrespectful.not listening to me, being rude and argumentive and a lot of miss communication. Which is not something you should be doing when dealing with a person who has mental health issues.apparently I'm not the only one that has delt with her bad attitude and being unprofessional and also refuses to listen to your concerns and feelings. She was never like this at first so I don't know what happened. But I have switched providers. And couldn't be happier!

I suffer from adult ADHD and Anxiety. I have been seeing her for about 5 months and I am finally able to focus. She listens when I don't want to be highly medicated and I have been able to stay at the very lowest dose of medication. I am finally able to sleep after years of my brain just spinning at night.

Twice was enough - getting another provider.
I should have listened to the reviews. My first visit did not go well. She talked in her microphone alot, which meant I had to stop often when I was trying to open up. It was like I was being interviewed for a new job or interrogated. She has an inability to be soft in her dialogue, always somewhat abrasive. It seemed she had no empathy whatsoever. The second appointment was the same way. Needless to say, I would definitely avoid seeing her again and wish I hadn't wasted my time and trust, or energy.,

Only saw her once= never again
I found her using her microphone Into her recorder more often than I felt she was even listening to me. She did this constantly during our 1st visit. She was very very abrupt or abrasive. Needless to say, I did not ever see her again.

I have been seen Virginia smith for almost 5 years. Then, all of a sudden, she decides to cut down my anxiety medicine for no reason....... I had never ever increased my dosage in 5 years. I don't know if this was a new policy at "insomnia services" but she would not explain anything and it was very hurtful. I was flabbergasted to say the least. My trust in professional Mental health providers has greatly been diminished. I will no longer see her again -yet alone recommend her to anyone. She is very incompetent In treatment behavior policies for patients.

DO NOT GO!
I had been seen by a nurse practitioner for years and years. Our relationship, professionally, was going well. ......... Then for some reason, out of the blue, no explanation; she decides to lower my anxiety medication. My anxiety medication helps very much with my migraines. And, to add insult to injury, she acted as though she didn't even know what I was talking about.(the migraines) That was cruel. And, made me feel belittled. She failed to listen to me .....for years, I guess. I couldn't continue--- with knowing that she was not ever truly listen to me. So, Virgina is untrustworthy, to say the least. Don't was years seeing her.
