Going to the lady doc is not always the best experience. Especially finding a new one when you move. I really liked him and will continue to. Makes sure you're comfortable. The office staff is very nice as well. I would have like to not had to gone elsewhere for labs but that's ok.

August 31, 2018Narina D.Verified patient
Dr. Smith was one of the most considerate medical professionals I have ever encountered. This was my first appointment with him, but it was evident that he genuinely cares about his patients.
There were also several unexpected, appreciated details—such as a private corner dressing room (within the exam room), cute gowns, and sweet baby photos.

More than 1 year agoMisty M.Verified patient
Look no further, the best ob-gyn I’ve been to. Dr. Smith listens to you. He made the exams painless as possible. Very professional but comfortable. Kept up conversation to distract me from the pain. He made everything quick and easy. Highly recommend Dr. Smith!

October 31, 2017Mariah Q.Verified patient
He's the first male gyno I've ever been to. I went for my yearly exam, and he hurt me less than anyone else has. He made a potentially awkward experience just fine. Bonus: he had a walked off corner of the room to change in and an actual fabric drape/mumu type of tube top, rather than a paper gown or sheet.
September 20, 2017Latu A.Verified patient
I was 10 minutes late due to parking, and then I had new patient paperwork. Still the front desk was very welcoming and I was seen in a very timely manner. As others have said the doctor visits with you in the office before the exam room, which is nice. Very clean, efficient and pleasant offIce.
More than 1 year agoLaura B.Verified patient
This was my first appointment with Dr. Russell Smith, and I plan to keep him as my doctor. I filled out most of my paperwork ahead of time (note that they do NOT accept Zocdoc paperwork, but their paperwork is linked on their own website), and just had one more form to fill before being seen. The office staff was all friendly and Dr. Smith met with me first in his office just to do introductions and get to know my questions and concerns before going to the exam room. I thought that was a nice personal touch on the appointment, and it made me feel much more comfortable with him as my doctor. The exam was quick and painless and I was in and out of the office in a little over 30 minutes.
March 17, 2017Misty M.Verified patient
I wish Dr. Smith was able to move out of state with me. He is by far one of the best doctors I have seen in a long time. I am very satisfied with his knowledge and his bedside manner. His staff is prompt and friendly as well.
