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.

I could write a novel about my experience with Dr. Smyth. In essence, all I can say is he is excellent at cutting/placement (and I do mean excellent), but he failed to act accordingly when it mattered for over 5 years, resulting in a slew of issues following. I hope he gained the ability to listen to his patients from my case. If he does happen to ever read this (assuming he checks his reviews periodically); you genuinely are an excellent surgeon. Your methods of cutting and placement are meticulous (especially now that I have something to compare to) , but your lack of listening to your patients intuition/reasoning (or their guardians in this case) is what resulted in your fault. Again I genuinely hope he learned from my case, as I feel if he has he could possibly be amongst the very best due to his skill.
