I absolutely loved Dr. Smith and her staff. From the check-in to the nurse to the doctor herself, everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. I especially loved her nurse, Kat, who took my health history by asking great questions and responding without any judgment. Dr. Smith was also an all star. She didn't seem rushed at all and took time to address all of my concerns. I will definitely be recommending this practice to all of my friends!

I'm sure she's a great doctor, but I was not happy with my visit. In the beginning of my exam there was a student doctor that was asking me questions, which was fine. However for my exam the doctor proceeded to let the student dr.examine me, Dr. Smith did not ask me if that was ok if a student dr could examine me, with my Physical discomfort she then step in and completed my exam, again I'm sure she's a great doctor, but asking permission is important when someone is in a vulnerable state and being exposed.

She was personable, professional and very direct about my treatment options. She actually provided me with an alternative that we both wish someone had shared years ago! So glad I chose to go see her!
August 19, 2016Vania S.Verified patient
This was my first time at Dr. Smith's office and it was very positive. The nurse who conducted my intake, Melissa, was really sweet and calmed my nerves. Dr. Smith herself was kind of quirky but did a great job.

She was extremely friendly. While I waited almost an hour to be seen, I feel like that wait time is pretty standard. I would highly recommend Dr. Smith!

Dr. Smith was very patient and took her time to counsel me and answer some questions I had. I felt extremely comfortable, and was impressed with her knowledge. It is clear she keeps very up-to-date in her field. I am really pleased!
June 22, 2016Victoria R.Verified patient
I love the relationship that I have with her. She ensures that I understand fully what is required of me as her patient. When I leave I understand the expectations in order to be healthy and how to maintain my work/life balance. I do not want to forget the office staff is awesone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 29, 2016Stacy L.Verified patient
It was a good visit; covered everything that's happened medically and any questions. I was running late, and thankful that Dr. Smith was still able to see me. Regrettably, I had tried to call the office several times before my appointment to let them know I was running late, but the lines do not open till 9, which was my appointment time--and I was on hold for about 10+ minutes and finally at the office so I just hung up. They were very accommodating though, so it made up for it. Pleasant, professional staff all around, will be a return patient if possible.

This was my first appointment with Dr Smith and I would say she was hands down the best gyn I have ever had! I loved how high tech and new the office was. The front desk staff was friendly and I was seen without having to wait past my appointment time. Dr. Smith was extremely professional and really took the time to answer all of my questions. I felt comfortable telling her my concerns and she took them all seriously. I would highly recommend Dr. Smith.

Very personable, knowledgeable doc you can trust
March 11, 2016Patrice S.Verified patient
Dr. Smith was friendly and professional. She immediately put me at ease when she entered the examining room: She politely knocked on the door (awaiting my response before she entered) and greeted me.
During the examination, Dr. Smith explained what she was doing and its potential effect on me (-- eg. what you feel is my hand, you are going to feel pressure, etc.) as the examination proceeded. She even acknowledged how early and why I arose that day and asked a question related to my early rising.
As I told her at the end of the examination, "I do not care for doctors" (nothing personal to Dr. Smith or any other medical healthcare professional), but I would definitely schedule any follow-up or any potential future appointments with her at any time, God willing.
I would recommend Dr. Smith to anyone needing to see an Ob-Gyn.
Interestingly, Dr. Smith is located conveniently across the street from a Whole Foods -- a store I had been looking for somewhere near my annual appointments for the past week.
Surprisingly, as I was proclaiming Dr. Smith's virtues to my sister, whom I am visiting and have not seen in a while, she indicated that she had seen Dr. Smith during a previous appointment and fully agreed with me.
God bless you, Dr. Smith!
March 4, 2016Juliette L.Verified patient
Dr. Smith is a wonderful doctor, who takes her time and is very involved in the treatment of her patients. She always takes that small moment to ensure your questions are answered and you are ok. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a OB /GYN.
Thanks Dr. Smith

Dr. Smith is excellent in all areas. She always takes the time to address my concerns, especially as new ones pop up. She even went the extra mile to get me additional information for the future. I highly recommend Dr. Smith as she has been a tremendous help with getting me healthy.

I really, really liked Dr. Smith. She was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. The check in process was superbly easy, and all of her staff were very nice. She made me feel very comfortable, and answered all of my questions. I will definitely make her my OB/GYN from now on.

It was my first time visiting an OB/GYN, and Dr. Smith did a wonderful job.
She explained what she was doing as she went, made small talk, and was very informative.

I recently moved to DC and I enjoyed learning more about her perspective on birth controls during my annual exam. While I didn't wait long in the "waiting room" it did take a little while to see the actual doctor once ready in the exam room. The appointment was pretty seamless after that, which I appreciated. Additionally, I am not sure the actual standards with having medical students shadowing doctors, I felt a little uncomfortable that it was not cleared with me first, especially since it was my first time visiting this office.

This was my first visit and I really liked Dr. Smith. She made me feel comfortable and took time to answer my questions. As GW is a teaching hospital, there was a med student with her, which doesn't bother me at all, but may make a difference to some. And, there was no wait time! I got there about 10 minutes before my appointment and was called back within 5 minutes.

I was very pleased with Dr. Smith's professionalism as well as her
medical recommendations. She was pleasantly frank and compassionate. Also she gave me one of the most gently
GYN exams in my life. I am 60 yrs. old so I have had a few.
I would absolutely recommend her to friends and/or family.
July 23, 2015Robin M.Verified patient
Dr. Smith is great! She was personable, punctual, and took the time to make sure any questions or concerns I had were addressed. She seems to be very up-to-date on the latest research and recommendations.
June 12, 2015Melissa M.Verified patient
Dr. Smith was great. She was really helpful, attentive, kind, and professional during the appointment. I did not feel rushed or uncomfortable, and would recommend her as a doctor. However, I had an 8 am appointment and was not seen until 9:15 am. I made the appointment at 8 because I had to go to work after, and I did not receive an apology or explanation as to why I waited for over an hour. I was very disappointed with that aspect of the appointment.
