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 guess only rude people rate and comment??

Not good. He basically took five (pain filled weeks )to accept that something was beyond sciatica. We’ve now moved on to a pain specialist and see an end in sight.

He is the rudest, most unprofessional physician I have ever experienced. He does NOT like to be asked questions. He speaks over you and at you. I do NOT trust his knowledge or care. He misdiagnosed and medicated my mother. She is now being carried for my specialist and another Primary Care Physician.

I was giving Dr. Smith the benefit of the doubt after reading all the poor reviews, but taking my elderly mother to see him again today validated why he has so many one-star reviews. He is very impersonal and talked over us many times, just raising his voice above ours as if he wasn't aware that we were speaking (trying to explain a few things). In 40 years in the medical field, I have not before been made to feel like he made me feel (insignificant, inadequate). I am on the hunt for a replacement.

He was telling me lies to get me to stop smoking. Said I would need to have my legs amputated at the torso if I did not stop. Never heard such a thing from a doctor before and neither had my friend who accompanied me. 15 years later I still smoke and still have my legs.

I always feel that Dr Smith listens and hears what I say. I appreciate his care, knowledge and time. He always asks if I have any questions.

Dr Smith is by far the worse experience we have had with a Doctor.
When my elderly mother first moved to this community, I started taking her to him. We immediately felt very uncomfortable. Terrible bedside manner. He said very little and when he did speak he seemed very arrogant and cold. We could have dealt with the arrogance and coldness if he actually helped her at some point.. Went to a different Dr and immediately received the treatment needed.

Smith sent me the lab results to my IHC account recommending my thyroid meds be raised to 175 from 150 yet after calling Smith's nurse four times they gave me four prescriptions at 150 and not the required 175 that Smith originally ordered and stated in my email lab report. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS

In over 50 years of seeing doctors, Dr Smith is easily the worst. He made no attempt at all to diagnose or treat my chronic pain symptoms. Nor did he even pretend to care. His advice was to take Tylenol. Duh.

Dr. Smith is the most arrogant, unfriendly, with the worst bedside manner doctor i have ever encountered.
He refused to actually diagnose the cause of my symptoms saying the treatment would be the same regardless of the diagnosis and actually said he'd not be bullied into doing anything different.
