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.

A wonderful doctor. He provided service for my son and I. I really miss him. He is kind, compassionate, and a wonder listener. He is the last doctor I have visited. It is hard to find a replacement. I am still looking.

Dr. Small was always very respectful of myself and my son. I take a very holistic approach to our health and he was always very considerate of that, unlike many Western medicine MDs.

Thanks to Dr. Small I am still alive. He found I had prostate problems so I went to a specialist who said I had a very fast growing cancer in my prostate and I should be operated on at once. Chances were 50/50 that he could get it all out. Thanks to Dr. Small 6, years later I am still alive.

Dr. Small is a great doctor. He listens to what his patients have to say and looks you right in the eyes letting you know he is focused. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. Dowagiac is lucky to have him. I will miss him.

Dr. Small is the friendliest, most caring and best doctor anyone can have. I saw him for 8 years until his recent move. He was also my Dad's doctor and was very compassionate and helpful to me when he passed. I will never find another Doctor as good as Dr. Small. Anyone looking for a Doctor you would be blessed to have him as your Physician if he was a little closer he would still be my Doctor. Your greatly missed Dr. Small

Dr. Small is fabulous! He genuinely cares for his patients! He was the first Dr. I had seen in years and he took time to listen to me and not rush out the door. I would recommend him to anyone! I am thrilled that I don't have to find a different doctor, now! C.M. Issa

My family of 5 have been seeing Dr. Matthew Small for several years. He treats us all with compassionate care and answers all of the questions a worried mother has. My daughter was seen not that long ago and after her visit with him she said "Mom he's so great, he made me feel better just listening with me." Sometimes that's all it takes, just listening and showing someone cares makes all of the difference. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!
