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.

Fantastic, tell it like it is doctor.
I don't know about most patients but along with with treatment I want realistic expectations so my family and I can plan accordingly. Dr. Smeltzer always made me feel extremely comfortable considering the circumstances and without exaggerating my future always gives me a positive vibe.

Dr. Smeltzer cares and actually takes the time to listen to my concerns. He explains all tests, medications, and procedures in great detail in language I actually understand making things a lot less stressful. Dr. Smeltzer and his staff actually care about your overall being, so I don’t just get in and out care.

He is very thorough & knowledgeable. He treats you like you are his only patient in that he never rushes you & takes every question you have & answers so that you can understand the process. He wants you to go into your treatment plan knowing what to expect & I appreciated that. I had complete confidence & trust in him from the very day he met me in my hospital room. I just knew he was the Dr. for me & I've never looked back! I'm in remission now!
