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. Smart keeps me thriving through Heart Failure
I have been a patient of Dr. Smart on and off for 20 years. He consulted when I was first diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy. I regressed 10 years later, so I began seeing him at LSU. He takes his time and educates me on the latest treatments. So relatable and easy to talk to. You can see how dedicated he is to each patient. I am living my best life because of his experience and first rate care.

Dr. Smart treated me for viral myocarditis -- something I had never heard of before. He was great at explaining to me what was going on. He's very willing to answer questions and provided great care when I was a patient of his. I would highly recommend him!
