Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Smythe is amazing great bedside manner explains everything to you I would recommend to all my friends and family.

I've been a patient of Dr. Smythe for 26 years now. He's a miracle worker, wonderful bedside manner, very patient, explains everything to you to make sure you understand. His precision is above and beyond. He saved my life TWO TIMES in emergency situations. I refuse to see any other gyno, nobody can come close to his level of expertise. I love this Dr.
