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.

Obviously very intelligent and likes to show it. However he did not listen to reason for visit, he spent the entire visit talking about what he thought was going on. Very few questions about current symptoms and offering suggestions on how to fix/help. Visit felt like waste of time will not return.

Not a good listener
Dr. Smith was personable enough, but he seemed way too more interested in talking than in finding out why I was there. At the end of his long spiel he attempted to close out the appointment, but I had to remind him we had not yet talked about what I indicated was the reason for the appointment. I will most likely not be seeing him again.

I had the onset of several coinciding medical issues. This doctor saved my life. He is extremely smart and knows what he's doing. I'd "had it" with several other doctors. He takes the time to explain things to you and tells it to you straight like it is. I appreciate this because there were other doctors I told the hospital I never wanted to see again. Dr. Smith is my perfect doctor, caring and with helpful suggestions. I can't recommend him highly enough!

My annual check-up with Dr. Smith was the WORST doctor's appointment that I have ever had. He spoke for 30 minutes about wheat and disregarded anything that I said about my symptoms. He became offended when I told him that I did not care about gluten and told him to speed things up because I was in a time crunch and still wanted to do my blood work. I was in a time crunch because I was seen 20 minutes late and he wasted an additional 30 minutes. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

Cares more about gluten than anything else. Half of the issues I had were constantly turned around to gluten. A nurse even warned me beforehand.
