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.

Unfortunately, I do not recommend.
While Dr. Smith may be highly educated and seemingly compassionate, she completely abandoned my 15-year-old daughter mid care. My daughter is suffering from a series of issues, anxiety, depression, school truancy, and an eating disorder, etc., after our first check up with Dr. Smith , she was supposed to prescribe a new protocol and that was 11 weeks ago. I Have yet to hear from her. I have called the office on numerous occasions and I have sent several emails. She has left us high and dry with no support in the middle of caring for my daughter . I am dismayed and was not expecting this from a physician. I traveled with my daughter all the way up to Connecticut from Philadelphia for the initial appointment because I was committed to getting my daughter Care from Dr. Smith . However, Dr. Smith has completely abandoned my daughter with zero communication or explanation. Given this, I do not recommend anyone else starting treatment with her because of the lack of continuity.

"Have a glass of wine"
I really do not recommend Dr Smith. I mentioned "painful intercourse" and instead of working with me to discuss the issue and explore solutions, she suggested I have a glass of wine.

She’s extremely educated but she can be snotty.hopefully she works on her attitude. Being mean to a woman who just suffered a miscarriage isn’t ok.
