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. LaNette Smith: Caring, Professional Surgery
Dr. LaNette Smith is a highly skilled, caring, professional surgeon serving the Prescott Area. She explains your situation with clear, succinct description of what they know, what tests are needed to find out what they don't know, surgical options available and the process for getting what you decided done. She is a skilled surgeon. I was very pleased with the outcome of my surgical procedure. I highly recommend Dr. LaNette Smith.

Gratitude
My appointment was pleasant and professional from begining to end. I was greeted with a smile at the front desk and during my visit with Dr. Smith I felt calm and was treated as if I was family and not just a number. Dr. Smith is a rare jewel due to her warmth, empathy, sincerity and professionalism. Dr. Smith takes the necessary time to explain the situation and provides recommendation verbally and in writing. I'm thoroughly convinced that I'm not just a number, and she truly cares about her patients. After my visit, I left the facility feeling at ease and convinced that I received the best possible care. I will continue to fly from another state to receive quality care.

Excellent surgeon, compassionate person
I first met with Dr. Smith after being diagnosed with breast cancer, and elected to have the lump removed. Dr. Smith was kind, thoughtful, and communicated well with me before I made my care choices. She discussed treatment options, pros and cons of each choice, and answered all my questions. My husband was with me at the first appointment and she kindly answered all his questions and concerns. She did not try to sway my decision in any way, rather provided important information to help me make my best choice. She was always respectful in her examinations and treatments. I was especially touched because she asked if I'd like to pray together before we entered the surgical arena. No surgeon has ever offered me that. Aftercare was just as kind and compassionate as preoperative care. I am grateful to have been under her care during this difficult time.
