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.

Doctor Smith is a very caring professional acting Doctor. He will do his best to diagnose your condition without drumming up expensive tests and procedures. He believes in preventative medicine and the importance of not having low vitamin levels. He has really helped both my wife and I along with our son.

After several doctors and 2 knee operations I found Dr Smith. He subscribed a plan for Lyme and confections and in 3 months I was on my way to recovery. I have been symptom free now for 3 years. Many thanks Dr. Smith

Dr. Smith is a blessing from god. I had a very bad infection in my hand. I could not drive or do much of anything. This man was kind enough to make house calls to help me beat the infection and ultimately keep my fingers. God bless you sir. You are a good man and I really don't know what I would have done without your help.

After seeing Dr. Smith, he suggested that I immediately have my blood drawn and sent away to one of the main labs that test for Lyme disease, in which I tested positive along with other co-infections...Finally I was diagnosed properly and have been treated by him and the loving crew at Healing Arts in Valparaiso. I thank him and recommend him and all for their valuable knowledge and extensive treatment to rid my body of this chronic illness I have had for years.

I cannot sing Dr. Smith’s praises enough. I struggled over a year with various Lyme-related symptoms, which other doctors dismissed. After our first visit, Dr. Smith ordered rigorous tests from a nationally recognized lab. These tests confirmed that I had Lyme and a co-inflection. We discussed various treatment options, and ultimately decided to go with an herbal arsenal. After about 4 months of treatment, I’m nearly symptom free. I have complete confidence in Dr. Smith.

My 8 year old daughter is currently being treated for Lyme disease along with some other co-infections by Dr. Smith and Dr. Kimberling. I cannot say enough great things about them, their facility and what they have to offer. They are so incredible knowledgeable and above all, they truly care!! And it shows! They took the time to listen and explain then come up with a treatment plan that was best for my daughter. We have been in treatment about 2 months now and she has made remarkable progress!!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Smith. He is currently treating me for lyme disease. My tests came back positive and I have been sick for years but all my Dr.s in Indiana where saying my tests where a false positives. It even showed up in my spinal fluid. Dr. Smith took his time with me and prescriptions with his number to call day or night with ANY problems... Now, that's a great Doctor !!
