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.

I saw doctor Smither for 3 years and never got my problem slightly fixed and she was trying to talk me into all kind of expensive tests. Saw another doctor 1x with 1 follow up and have not had a urinary problem In 2 years. Don’t see her.

Dr. Smither is wonderful! Stop! The consummate professionl: Knowledgeable, professional, caring and compassionate. I feel EXTREMELY fortunate to have such a personable and experienced urologist so near to where I live, one interested and educated/trained to deal with my specific bladder issues (Multiple Sclerosis). For any complaint about long wait times...I want to offer a blanket public apology. Dr. Smither's willingness to spend the necessary time with me might be why you felt your wait time

Dr Smither is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I felt like she listened to me and understood what I am going through. I cannot sing her praises enough. She has helped me and has me feeling better than I have in a long time. Her staff is understanding and returns my phone calls promptly. Very pleased.

Dr Smither is such a great doctor, so very kind with a very caring bedside manner. She was very knowledgeable and explained my procedure in great detail and in a way that I could understand. She listened to me and answered all my questions. Not only did she care about my urological problems, but she cared about my health in general. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Smither to anyone who is looking for an awesome urologist!

Dr. Smither is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She is very pleasant, approachable and seems love her profession. In addition to my urological needs, in discussing my overall health, she made sure to include a prescription to assist me in overcoming 40 years of smoking. From my experience, I would highly recommend Dr. Smither to all.

Smither's knew my extensive medical history I expressed my concern regarding a procedure she wanted 2 perform. She looked at me & asked me 2 trust her & I did 100%. I trusted her with my body. The procedure cost almost $20k of which I'm responsible 4 over $6k. Guess what? The surgery was 100% UNSUCCESSFUL & she looked at me & said, "It's your body & you had options, what do you want 2 do now?" As a professional I trusted her expertise & she failed my body as a physician. All I could do was cry!

Saw her in 2014. Easy to talk with. Looked at my overall health and not just my bladder issues. As a result she discovered that I had a form of pneumonia. Did very extensive testing to assure her diagnosis.
