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.

Wonderful Doctor

Amazing
Not the softest person or the best bedside manner but when my wife hemorrhaged and lost 40% of her blood after delivery I'm glad it was Dr. Loftus-Smith in the delivery room. She didn't miss a beat, remained calm, explained to me and my (mostly unconscious) wife our options, and advised with what she would do were roles reversed. Truly a professional, and her follow up care was fantastic as well.

Uncaring
Does not seem to care.. pushed me for surgery in the midst of a panic attack with no explanation of why and no signs of distress. Felt like she thought it was just “taking too long” for her. Did not feel she was honest and definitely do not trust her.

On April 7th I called and left a message for the on call physician, who happened to be Dr. Loftus-Smith. I go through the Cold Spring office so I’ve never met nor spoke with her. I explained I was 37 weeks pregnant and that my water broke. She advised me to head out to labor and delivery to be checked. Once I had arrived, the house doctor came in to see if my water had truly broke. Not one tome during all of this did she come in herself. The house doctor told me I was not ruptured and sent me on
