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 went to her for years and she has always been a pleasant dr. Not sure if she thought certain patients have higher pain tolerance for pain. One day she seemed insensitive and didn’t investigate further when I complained of painful cramping during periods and she only stated it would get worse as I got older. She also mentioned not to get pregnant after 40 because it would be hard. I ended up pregnant after 40 few years later I suffered a miscarriage and it was difficult getting someone on the phone or to return calls promptly for questions in general because they were busy. After switching drs years later it is revealed I have fibroids.

Dr. Smith is very professional, compassionate and knowledgeable. She always takes the time to explain things clearly and to make sure I'm at ease. Having said that, every time I need to see her I always wait at least one hour - both for in-office and virtual appointments. I've had a situation when I had to wait for nearly 2 hours to be seen. I work full-time so this is a major issue that I would like to see her office address. As much as I love Dr. Smith, if this is not addressed I will have no alternative but to find another ObGyn.

Dr. Smith is not my regular doctor but she was covering for my doctor who was out of town. She was very sweet and compassionate when she diagnosed my miscarriage. Unfortunately she misread the ultrasound because a few weeks later, my doctor saw that my baby had never miscarried! My baby was perfectly fine with a strong heart beat! I had spent three weeks mourning over the loss just to find out that Dr. Smith was wrong. I’m not sure how a doctor can make a mistake like that with as much experience as her!! Thankfully I never took the medication to expel the baby or the surgery to scrape the remains. We would have never known! The worse part is that I never heard back from her-never received an explanation or apology. Pregnancy is difficult enough and with the added emotional roller coaster, it made things much worse. I hope no one ever has to experience what I did!

After waiting over a month for an appt, I was supposed to be a new patient today. After my coworker waited an hour to be seen earlier today, I called in to see if Dr Smith was still running behind because I couldn't wait over an hour. I was told that Dr Smith always runs behind and was then advised to find another physician. Dr Smith may be an awesome physician but, has major scheduling issues that consistently devalues her patient's time.

I started seeing Dr. Smith when my original OBGYN relocated. I liked her right away. She spent time with me and I met her on the first visit. Then in August I miscarried, which we later determined was an ectopic pregnancy. She was very patient with me and explained everything very clearly. Then when I had a positive pregnancy test in December she was very proactive and called me immediately upon receipt of my message. She ordered hCG testing and scheduled my appointment for follow-up.
