“Denise Smithem was so incredibly kind and thorough while trying to evaluate my symptoms. She was patient and didn’t appear to be rushed to get out of the office to do anything else and I felt seen, heard, and cared for! Thank you!”

“This provider was very much on top of my medical history, health issues, medical conditions, costs and objectives, and did everything possible to help me achieve those objectives, including reducing office visits if necessary, but she did refer me to a physician to follow up, and the doctor she referred me to was based on my personality, which I really appreciate. Excellent Care! Any issues with wait time is an overall issue with Crystal Run ~ they overbook appointments for all providers.”

She and the staff were friendly, compassionate, and professional. They sent my prescription and scheduled my follow up testing right from exam room which was much easier than having to call and schedule it afterward.

Ms. Smithem NP took her time to listen for the reason for my visit. Before I left I understood what the plan of care was and a few days later Denise followed up with test results that was much appreciated! I highly recommend this provider!
