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.

Best Doctor in the Parish
Dr. Smith did not rush visit, he asked lots of questions after hearing my concerns. The stuff delivered a comfortable atmosphere and made me feel like family. After leaving the office I cried in my car from the relief I felt in finally finding a Doctor that doesn't give generic answers or made me feel unvalued

A Grateful New Patient – Apr 24, 2024
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Smith Jr?
Finally
Have not had a Doctor that seemed to care more about my health since I was a patient of Dr. Robert Ewing, before Dr Ewing got to where he was no longer able to see his patients. Dr Smith’s staff was unbelievably nice and friendly. Dr. Smith immediately recognized one problem that I have that others have overlooked. Most people people in health care facilities seem to be in a hurry to get you out of their office, but Dr Smith was very patient and asked questions about my health and conditions in order to find solutions to help me improve my health. I would highly recommend Dr Smith to anyone that’s looking for a Caring Doctor..

So far he has exceeded every expectation for a doctor! Very thorough, great bedside manner, ask a lot of questions and took a great deal of time with us. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

Dr Smith explains treatment completely. If you follow his directions on the use of medications, you will be completely happy with your outcome and not required to be on pills forever.

I was a new patient to his clinic. It took a little time to get in but it was worth it. He took time and explained everything quite well. His staff members were very nice and respectful. He's a class A physician made you feel he cared. Look forward to continued care under his supervision.
