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. Smith is very personable and deeply cares about his patients. He spends a lot of time with his patients and explains everything with ease. His staff is very kind as well.

Dr. George Smith has a pleasant personality and a very professional and caring manner to his patients. He explains your medical condition thoroughly and answers any questions you have. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his practice to anyone I know that needs cardiac care.

Dr. Smith is a phenomenal doctor. Last year, he saw my mom, Shirley. at the ICU at Lakeview. Her prognosis was very poor, but he was able to place multiple stents and save her life. He has now been her cardiologist for a year at the Bogalusa office. He has been SO thorough in her care and has been amazingly patient in answering our questions, both while she was in and out of the hospital. Dr. Smith is truly a gem and our family will be eternally grateful to him.

There are cardiologists, good cardiologists, great cardiologists and there is Dr. George Smith. His ability to diagnose and treat cardiac disease is outstanding and his dedication to his patients is beyond exemplary. No other cardiologist I have known is in his league as far as being able to get to the source of the problem and provide treatment in a timely, most up-to-date technological manner. He sets the example for other doctors. He has saved my life many times and deserves 100 stars!

Dr.Smith is a dedicated interventionist. He's also triple boarded and is the reason my friend's mother has live thirteen years longer than expected, what an awesome doctor. I'll be recommending my little sister who also had an heart attack. Eric Kimble-Osborne

My mother, 2 of my uncles, my brother in-law, sister & 3 of my dearest friends have been seeing Dr. Smith for nearly 13 years. He explains things & takes time listening to his patients, more than any cardiologist they had tried before. He is adamant about giving his patients the extra mile in terms of their care & treatment. He is smart yet so down to earth. My family & friends will not go back to the care they experienced prior to Dr. Smith. They like feeling like a VIP, rather than a number
