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.

A wonderfully supportive partner in care
Dr Smith has been a wonderfully attentive and supportive part of the health journeys for both of my children. Both have extreme allergies and have navigated those plus other health challenges simultaneously and Dr Smith has been a key part of their health team through it all. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I see another review claiming she was chatting and inattentive - and I can't speak to what was happening that day, but it is the opposite of my own experience over multiple years and many appointments.

Very professional and caring. She took the time to explain everything and she was very willing to answer all of our questions. Our son has a very rare condition and Dr. Smith was very patient with him and was able to break things down in ways that he could understand.

Dr Smith is an attentive and observant doctor with an excellent manner with children. Despite only needing to see my son yearly, she remembers our family and our needs, which is greatly appreciated. There's nothing worse than seeing a specialist who doesn't look over their notes prior to the appointment and has to be reminded of everything. No such problems with Dr Smith. She's wonderful and very knowledgeable, stays up to date with current research. We feel confident in her treatment of my son.

Our son has had sinus/allergy problems for months and we went to see Dr. Smith today. My son had a brain injury after receiving some vaccines and has limited communication skills. He has a hard time waiting sometimes. Dr. Smith was preoccupied with chatting while my son waited. She has zero patience with her patients. Ended up not seeing my son at all and left to escape this place. My son's swim instructor and drum teacher show more professionalism and empathy than this doctor. Avoid!
