Dr. Matthew Smith, MD

He ordered a lab - I got the lab report - it was negative. But I never heard from him - don't know if he ever saw it.

I met Dr Smith for the first time today. He was very kind, compassionate and caring. He listened to my concerns and assured me he would address them, which he did. I wish I had started seeing him as my doctor years ago!

I would recommend Dr. Smith, because I have not had any problem. He has always been professional with me.
