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.

My mom came in to see her a couple of years ago with complaints of different symptoms, she was completely dismissed and told it was nothing to worry about. My mom knew there was something wrong so went and got a second opinion, turns out she had late stage 3 ovarian cancer. Had no idea this was the doctor who initially misdiagnosed my mom so I went in to see her for my yearly exam. I had a couple of questions and wanted to get tested for a yeast infection/bv, she was completely unable to answer any of my questions but took a sample for a yeast infection. Three weeks later I call because I haven't gotten any test results, turns out they just didn't process the sample? Asked me if I would want to come back in and get another sample taken. Not really sure where the miscommunication was but still just kind of ridiculous. If you are concerned something is wrong, from something as simple as a yeast infection to something as serious as ovarian cancer, I do not recommend seeing Abigail Smith.

Nice, quick Doctor but upcharged for a 5 minute visit and would not rectify the incorrect billing. Advise patients to double check your billing statements.

Dr. Smith is easily the best gyno I have had the pleasure of being a patient to. She if always straight-forward, but listens to my concerns and never once made me feel as though I did not know my body. She removed an ovarian cyst with no complications and was even able to save the ovary. My recovery was incredibly quick, and I attribute that to her skills as a surgeon. I have had friends use her as well , and they have all had positive experiences.

Excellent physician. She performed my hysterectomy in December and I recovered quickly and (almost) painlessly. I was so nervous because of others experience but I was pleasantly surprised. Scarring and post op was minimal.
