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 Smith is an excellent neurosurgeon. He and his team saved my life. Unknown to me, I had a a large ependymoma sitting on my brain stem and spinal column. On very short notice after discovery, my surgery was performed, a complete tumor removal was achieved and successful rehabilitation and radiation oncology treatments were concluded. Very pleased ??????Vote science!

Dr. Tim Smith is one of the worst doctors that I have ever encountered. The biggest waste of my time and my insurance company's money. $450 visit to have him say in a snarky tone "you have a bad back." - so THAT was my diagnosis. He went to 12+ years of Med School and THAT Was ALL he said. AND he expected me to be satisfied with that; and then he laughed. He is very unprofessional and arrogant. He reminds me of a spoiled child, God forbid that he has to Dig DEEPER than that.

Definitely would go to NEBH due to Dr Smith's unprofessional manner in never returning a phone call to talk to him personally after surgery. I can not comprehend his insensitivity to a patient who had a serious surgery . Where is you compassion ? I presume that he is paid a hefty amount for this type of surgery then forgotten as I was. I am a healthcare proxy with POA for the patient.

Dr. Smith and his team have been exceptional over the past 2 years I've been working with them. He's repaired 2 herniated discs in my lumbar spine and I couldn't be more pleased with my ongoing experiences with him and his group. The administrative and clinical teams both deserve high praise for their great work!
