“The front desk was not necessarily unpleasant to me, but their phone etiquette I overheard was very rude in tone. They were decent towards me, not nice but not rude. I also kept hearing the employees conversations outside the room about their personal lives and just felt like it was a bit unprofessional being that I was sitting there waiting and they were a bit loud, the doctor herself and the assistant were great and kind though!”

Very great visit. Both doctors were very great listeners and understanding. They also make sure to help with anything or answer any questions you have about your skin. They also make sure to give you a run down on everything so you won't be confused. Very great energy so you can feel comfortable.

I feel very comfortable with Laura Smith. She is extremely knowledgeable but answers questions on our level. She also does a thorough body check. We are happy we switched over to her practice a few years ago and have recommend her to our friends.
