Dr. Smith always takes the time to fully explore symptoms and then explain his diagnosis. He is personable and gives the impression he is generally interested in making things better.
Dr. Smith was fabulous! Highly Recommend him (: The staff on the other hand, they weren't terrible, do their job well but didn't come off too friendly. And I waited over 30 minutes to be called from the lobby which was a little disappointing. Overall, professional, Dr. Smith is genuinly passionate physician and still recommend. Also, love they have a lab in the office!

Dr Smith is easy to talk to, listens to what you have to say, and explains everything thoroughly. He shows a depth of concern that I am not accustomed to and certainly welcomed. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Very good!
He was courteous, friendly and thorough.
Verified patient
I arrived 20 mins before my appointment yet I was not able to see the doc until 30 minutes after my set appointment. Also, I completed the check in on ZocDoc and submitted it. When I arrived at the doctors office I had to complete the information again. I am also not sure what was meant when I heard the front desk say that I didn't exist. I have gone to this office for over 8 years so it stumps me.
It was fine.
Great doctor! Will go back for life!
