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 performed a screening colonoscopy on me. I was very nervous. The Dr. and nurses were wonderful. Mont. Regional was clean and a very nice hospital.

Excellent Care
Dr. Smith performed emergency gastro-surgery for me on an early Sunday morning in July. When I got to the hospital emergency room, it was a very short time until an entire surgical team was gathered and in a matter of a couple of hours I had the surgery and was back in a room. The team followed me in a professional, caring manner until I was discharged two days later. The entire hospital staff was wonderful. This was my first time at Lewis-Gale, Montgomery, but if I should need another surgery, I will be calling on them again.

Excellent Surgeon
Dr. Smith performed emergency surgery in middle of the night for me. Knowledgeable, answering questions so I understand and allowed me to have a say post surgery, going forward. He performed a somewhat complicated surgery as a professional. Appreciate him and highly recommend. Their entire staff is excellent
