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.

Worse than terrible
See title. Made my condition worse and created even more problems with his 'examination'. The worst part is that he laughed at my discomfort. He almost seemed to take pleasure in it.There are much better doctors with this specialty in the area. Highly recommend seeing them instead.

Dr Smith, was warm thorough, compassionate, and listened carefully to my concerns. He helped me feel at ease, and I was validated. In addition, Dr Smith will now be performing a test which is incredible, as it supports the LGBTQI community and those who have been diagnosed with HPV. His office staff , especially Delaney were kind and gentle.

Absolutely! Dr. Smith saved my life 3 years ago. I was rushed to the ER with stomach pains and was diagnosed with stage 4 Colon cancer Dr Smith performed emergency surgery and removed the cancer completely with no after effects. I was then followed up with a diagnosis of “NED” which I found out meant No evidence of disease !! Thank you Dr.Smith for saving my life !!

Dr. Smith was assigned as my surgeon after I was hospitalized for acute diverticulitis. He was very professional, but approachable at all times. He explained the surgery to me and answered all my questions. I am very pleased with the care and outcome of the surgery Dr. Smith performed on me at Penn Medicine, Princeton Hospital in Plainsboro. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Liam Smith for Gastro-intestinal surgery.

Plainsboro Resident-who enjoys wine – Mar 29, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Smith?
My daughter got a cyst removed and the doctors gave instructions to clean the deep wound at home. When I was unable to do it and gave the doctors office a call, they said the pain after a day of surgery is psychological. It is more uncomfortable then actually being painful. I had to take my daughter to an urgent care center where they were horrified that the doctor asked for this to be done at home. According to the urgent care center, the wound should be cleaned out and bandaged by a surgical doctor, not a parent at home. When I informed the office, all they could say was good luck to me and insisted that it can be done at home. Awful care. Not at all the kind of care expected from a reputable establishment. 100 thumbs down

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Smith to any member of my family or a friend. His professionalism, and coolness, in the midst of a very trying experience for me, caused me to place my entire confidence in him. My post operative experiences made me glad that I did.
