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.

During the initial with Dr. Smallwood presented himself with a very professional and knowledgeable attitude. His surgical skills were excellent. Immediately following the procedure he provided great support for myself and my wife. During the followup visit he was extremely professional with myself and did an internal exam to determine the healing progress. Immediately following he provided a brief summary that was very comforting for myself and my wife. I would highly recommend him to other individuals with similar conditions.

Second opinion
I went to him for a second opinion and found he knows more about my issues than my first surgeon. After he explained what no other surgeon took the time to do it made it clear he would be my new surgeon. He has compassion and listens to you. I am not afraid of the surgery or worried about pain because I know he will do the best treatment for me.

First of all I call and I speak with a real live person not a recording. Second of all everyone at the office I encountered were nice and knowledgeable. Dr. Smallwood is a great doctor and listens to his patients and had answers for all my concerns. Dr. Smallwood got rid of all my pain and made my life better.

Excellent! We are so very fortunate he chose here.
Sherman is very blessed to have this relatively young and very competent surgeon. I could not imagine having any better surgeon in all areas of my care. He explained the procedure and answered all of my questions in language I could understand. He spent as much time as I needed to feel comfortable about his treatment. I highly recommend him.

Dr Smallwood is very quiet but very knowledgeable. I had a Hemorrhoidectomy about 2-1/2 weeks ago I still have pain after my bowel movement and when I pass gas but I will tell you that it’s nowhere near the pain I was having before he did my surgery. I highly recommend dr Smallwood.
