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.

Pleasant office visit, Follow up is lacking
Office visit was pleasant and felt he was proactive on tests ordered to evaluate condition. Did all the tests and got a message from nurse on findings, with no education on the conditions I had never heard of and seems concerning. No follow up scheduled and will be seeking opinion of a 2nd cardiologist.

He is excellent.
Whether in the office or the cath lab, he is a great doctor. He listens to the patient instead of looking at a computer. He gives answers to the questions asked of him. He explains treatment alternatives. He Inspires confidence and then comes through with the treatment agreed on. Frey

Very knowledgeable and caring doctor
I saw Dr. Smith last week and was very impressed with his knowledge. He is patient, he explained everything to me in terms I understood. He will set up a game plan that best fits your needs and he doesn't ignore any of your concerns. He will spend as much time as is needed to make sure he's gone over everything and that you understand everything. I would recommend everyone to Dr. Smith! He has an office in Tyler and comes to quitman once a week. Thank you, Dr. Smith for being a great doctor!!!!!!

Dr Smith seemed to be very "bothered" by questions we asked re: my mother's Heart Cath procedure. He was in a hurry to get out the door and quickly dismissed us, cutting us off mid-question, or disregarding the question all together. Made us feel insignificant, and more like his "100th patient" he had seen that day, and it was only 10:30am.

Dr. Robert Smith Jr, MD has been my cardiologist for approximately six and a half years; until a recent incident. Just a month ago I had an appointment with him, to possibly be evaluated for a heart cath test, that was overdue, because of a recent cancer surgery at Baylor Sammons in Dallas. After waiting an hour in the room, having my blood pressure taken (108/40 ) etc, he came into the room very stressed, and angrily dismissed me! No explanation to this day! I opened the door, and saw no o
