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.

Always listens to concerns, never feel rushed at appointment. Takes time to answer questions and clarify when not understanding something.

Horrible! I made an appointment over 3 weeks ago at the 8th Ave office only to find out when I arrived this morning that there was no appointment. Huh? The gals at the front desk have always been arrogant and uncaring to the older patients as was the one this morning. Do I need to call them every day to see if I still have an appointment because their front area staff is so incompetent?? This is the 3rd time they have done this to me so Dr. Smythe, you lost another patient and you can bet I will tell everyone I know how bad your office is. By the way, your Foothills staff is the same as 8th because they were trained there. I know you make tons of money and probably don't care either, but you need to revamp your office staff and fire them all and start over with compassionate people. Also, your physician assistants are always up selling unnecessary tests. Once I clued into that, it was interesting to watch them trying to make their monthly quotas at my and my insurance's expense.

Very short and always trying to sell his weight loss product which is mostly phentermine instead of real medicine. After a while I have to switch him as he seems more like hustler than being a doctor. He will ignore my main reason for visit and go to being a sales man. My health was detreating. So I have to find a new doctor. I will not recommend him at all.

Its rare to go into a doctors office and see them on time. With Dr. Smythe I have never had a late appointment. The detail of the visit is excellent all tests are reviewed with me and explained. He is on top of issues with my health and refers me when he feels I should see a specialist. The staff follows thru with issues and I never feel I'm being looked at as less than important. I enjoy him as a doctor and trust his decisions and advise. We are lucky to have his services available to us.
