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.

Trying to reach the office for any pre-surgery communication was difficult and stressful. I found Dr. Smith to be rude and arrogant and will never return! My advice ....stay away..

Dr Smith has done 2 MOHS procedures for me - one in Wellesley office and one in West Roxbury. He was great! He explained to me what he was doing and scars are minimal. I didn't talk a lot to Wellesley office staff so can't comment but my regular dermatologist is in West Roxbury and they are great!

I worked with Dr Smith many years ago when he was just starting out and when I worked for another derm we sent many patients to him for surgery. He even did surgery on my 90 yr old grandmother. He is an awesome surgeon. I have seen so many of his patients after surgery and they loved him. Is he arrogant? Yes, he is but I would go to him in a heartbeat for removal of skin cancer

Courteous staff. On time appointment. Doctor and staff kept me informed throughout the procedure. What more can one ask for in a practice.

My Wellesley-based dermatologist recommended I meet with Dr. Smith for a MOHS consultation. I called the office on Monday morning, February 26 to schedule an appointment. I was told by the receptionist that she would talk with Dr. Smith and call me back in a day or so. Over five weeks later, no callback. Not good.

I had my appointment today with Dr Smith. To be honest, I wasn't impressed with the scheduling. I must have received 3 phone calls prior. Due to limit space on this site to review, all I can say is DONT GO HERE! Dr is so arrogant. Staff unfriendly, and no communications within office. I actually left his chair it was so bad. Dr told me to find another dr than can perform surgery without a scar. Never in my life has this happened to me, where I actually left without surgery. Trust me on this revi

Have had two mohs procedures done by Dr. Smith. Last one was a 5 hour; 61 stiches procedure. He and his staff were great. He explained everything as he went along; checked with me often to see how I was, etc. Kept me comfortable, engaged and happy.
