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.

He was courteous, friendly and thorough.
More than 1 year agoVickie M.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.
