“I usually avoid doctor visits unless absolutely necessary, but Dr. Smith completely changed my perspective.
He made my visit personal, took the time to address my medical concerns thoroughly, and treated me like an individual—not just another patient to rush through.
I truly appreciate his professionalism and compassion. Highly recommended!”

“The staff was very professional, clean office, smart doctor, I don't think we fully narrowed down my allergic reaction though, probably should have done blood work tbh”

About Dr. Steven Smith
*Please be advised we do Not Accept Patients Under 18 Years Old*
Established in 1978 by Rudyard Uriah Smith, our clinic has been a trusted provider of family care for over four decades. Now family-owned by Steven J. Smith, MD, and Dr. Elaine Cabugason, MD, we continue the legacy of providing comprehensive primary care for patients aged 18 and up.
At our clinic, we offer the best of both worlds: the expertise and resources to handle advanced medical conditions through affiliations with larger hospital networks, while maintaining the personal, family-friendly atmosphere of a small-town clinic. With "big city capabilities and a small town feel," we ensure our patients receive both exceptional care and the attention they deserve.
We emphasize building lasting relationships with our patients, guiding them through every stage of their health journey. Our philosophy is to "practice what we preach," promoting healthy lifestyles and educating patients on preventive care and long-term wellness.
Dr. Steven J. Smith, a graduate of Rush Medical College in Chicago and board-certified in family medicine by Loyola, leads our team alongside Dr. Elaine Cabugason, a graduate of MCW in Wisconsin, who is board-certified in internal medicine after completing her residency at Loyola in Chicago.
We offer weekend appointments, flu shots, and easy parking access, making your healthcare experience as convenient as possible.

The office staff was very helpful and even called me prior to my visit to inform me an earlier time was available so that I could be seen sooner. The office was clean and the atmosphere very pleasant. The nurse that took my vitals was very professional and once I met with the Dr. his tone and mannerisms was warm and engaging. His attitude towards preventative measures was very positive and offered several alternatives to assist me in some of my personal goals. Great visit.
