I found this clinic through Google and feel grateful for choosing Airelle Rucker-Smith, NP, DNP. The office was clean, smelled pleasant, and everyone was kind and thoughtful. I often forget appointments, but the text and email reminders helped me show up on time.
As a first-time patient, I appreciated how Airelle asked many questions to understand my health history. Since I’m not fluent in English, I sometimes didn’t fully understand, but she kindly repeated things without hesitation. Her patience helped me feel comfortable and well cared for.
She truly took the time to get to know me, and I felt her genuine concern for my health. If you’re looking for a primary care provider, I highly recommend booking an appointment with her. You won’t regret it.

Arielle Rucker-Smith is a phenomenal provider who treats myself and 3 of my children. She is patient, professional, kind, knowledgeable, and an overall gift to our community!
Moreover, she is one of the best providers I've had who treats many of my chronic conditions, coordinating my care with various specialists as well.
Thank you so much for all you and your staff does for our family!

Dr. Rucker-Smith is AMAZING. If you need a Primary Care physician who offers compassion and not just a diagnosis... she is your go-to Doc. She also comes with a wonderful and attentive staff.
MDVerified patient
After years of feeling unheard by doctors, it was important to me to find a doctor that listens to all my concerns and Dr. Rucker-Smith TRULY listens. After expressing all of my concerns, Dr. Rucker-Smith sat with me and we together made a plan of what issues to prioritize, that alone was my first indicator that she cares. After leaving my first visit, I was feeling emotional because it felt amazing to have a doctor like her that's focusing on my health. Her bedside manner is empathetic and gentle, and you won't have to wait weeks or even months to schedule an appointment. The practice is small and Dr. Rucker-Smith is very responsive- I've gotten a call back in the same day! I wish I could just keep her to myself, but I know more people are in search of exactly what I found in a medical care provider. Highly recommend First Choice Primary Care.
TGVerified patient
Dr. Rucker-Smith is wonderful. It's been years since I've experienced good bedside manner in a healthcare setting. After my first appointment, I left feeling heard and supported. Dr. Rucker-Smith is kind, knowledgeable, and is now my primary care provider.
I would highly recommend Dr. Rucker-Smith as a healthcare provider to anyone and everyone!
