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.

Awesome surgeon
Dr. Smith just did an inguinal hernia repair for me on 3/31/23. The incision looks excellent, the pain was way less then what I was expecting from what others told me. He has great bedside manner and it was a stress less process and 6 weeks later I have resumed all my normal activities. If I happen to need a general surgeon again he will be the doctor I come to.

I had been putting off gallbladder surgery for almost 4 years but finally decided to find a surgeon and get it over with. I had been warned that some surgeons have horrible bedside manner so I was prepared to see just that when I met with Dr. Smith. THANKFULLY he is SO kind, compassionate, attentive and an excellent surgeon. Everyone I spoke to at the hospital about Dr. Smith said they would choose him to do their surgery and I’m so glad I did as well. I was extremely anxious going into surgery but Dr. Smith & the other medical staff made me feel comfortable & were so kind. I’m so fortunate that Dr. Smith was my surgeon & forever grateful to him and his lovely staff.

Dr. Smith saved my life! He did emergency surgery on my colon that had ruptured. He explained everything thoroughly and his bedside manner is in a class by itself. Excellent surgeon.

I have been to this office 3 times now. Always on time, maybe a 10 minute wait. Dr. Smith is always professional and handles things quickly. I would give him 6 stars if possible! Great practice - these guys rock it!

Dr. Smith repaired a hernia for me, it was almost miraculous. I was fully mobile within 3 days, didn't need the powerful painkillers at all, was exercising and bicycling after 4 days. Now two weeks after the surgery I'm cleared to do whatever is comfortable. His office is highly efficient, scheduling was simple, and he went well beyond my expectations in locating a good anethesiologist that he trusted to assist in the surgery. I can't thank him enough!

I will never be seen by him again. He sent me in for a CAT scan, I had that done and it took over two weeks before he had someone call me to schedule another visit with him. I asked that he call or email me instead of me coming back in and it’s been another week. So 3 weeks with no results. There are other surgeons that actually care enough about people to make them more of a priority.

I have had a wonderful experience for my gallbladder surgery. The surgeon is not just very skilled, organized and intelligent but also attentive to your needs as a patient. Surgery scheduling, procedure and post op went without a hiccup. Office staff works fast, communicates well and delivers on requests from FMLA forms, prescriptions and Doctor's notes.

I very much appreciated that he did not relegate my post surgery care to a hospitalist. He kept his rounds as promised to see me and did all he could to help me have a painless recovery.
