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.

High Risk
Dr Smith is very knowledgeable and personable. She provides great care while maintaining professionalism. She listens and addresses any and all of my concerns and shows genuine interest in me as a person and not just a patient. My family and I are so greatful to have her assist us in the expansion of our family. I was high risk with both of my pregnancies from beginning to end and having her as a doctor made all the difference.

Highly recommend Dr Smith
Dr Kirsten Smith is highly skilled professional. She always treated me well and gave very helpful suggestions. She was surely one of the main reason I could have a mindful and peaceful pregnancy. I am really happy that I met Dr Smith for our pregnancy and glad that she helped us through out this journey from 8th week till our rainbow baby is born. All of my visits with her were really well and I am thankful for all her guidance to us. Whether it’s her skills with ultrasound, cervical check, baby growth checks and answering to all our queries, concerns was really good. Just to mention about her talent, my two cervical checks were never painful and her inputs on diet helped me to not to be diabetic during my pregnancy. She is always warm, empathetic and very knowledgeable. Her patience and warm way of treating pregnant women really eases them. She treats her patients with a smile and I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

A really comfortable, caring place
An ob gyn visit is not my favorite way to spend an hour, but this place makes me almost look forward to it! Dr. Smith is extremely caring and the staff are really pleasant. The office space is really comfortable, and I never feel rushed. I have a lot of confidence in Dr. Smith, because she listens really well and I feel she cares deeply about her patients.

Dr. Smith Saved My Life
I was in the hospital awaiting an emergency D&C because a piece of placenta had been left in my body after my (scheduled) C-section (I had had a different doctor from another practice). I had heard great things about Dr. Smith at the birth center, and I was beyond relieved to find out she was the doctor would perform my surgery that morning. The hospital then decided to move my procedure to the end of the day, even though I had been laying in the hospital bleeding all night. I was terrified. I don't know what Dr. Smith said or did, but the minute she was in the building, I became next in line and she performed my surgery within the hour. It ended up being more than just a routine procedure, and my family was called in because it became quite serious. I am still here because of Dr. Smith, and am forever grateful that she was in charge that day. She is now my OB/GYN and she is absolutely the best. I recommend her with all my heart.

I have never been more satisfied with an OBGYN provider as I have been with Dr Smith. Was sad to leave the birth center of wilm but my experience with Dr Smith made up for leaving. She made sure my feelings, & wants were heard. I felt like a person versus just another's patient. Previous OBGYN care I received I felt like what I wanted didn't matter, that it was about what the Dr wanted, NOT the case with Dr Smith. Will definitely recommend her in the future
