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. Smoots always listens to my concerns, and the options available for my care.

Dr Smoots is GREAT and I highly recommend him! My only issue is that it felt a little weird to have Dr Smoots standing the whole time during my visit (since the MA had his stool). I had to look up at him the whole time, which was hard on my neck, and it made me worry that he was in a bit of a hurry.
