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.

He is fantastic. He listens to your concerns, and involves you in the treatment plan. He has a fantastic bedside manner, and is one of the smartest doctors I’ve met. He genuinely cares and always goes above and beyond. I’ve referred many friends to him, and they feel the same. I’m lucky to have him as a doctor and friend

Dr. Smith is a very caring and knowledgeable doctor. He has brought my gastrointestinal issues under control and diagnosed my issues quickly and correctly. He will always call me back same day with protocol and procedures. He listens to the patient and makes you feel as you are a team working together. Can't say enough how wonderful he is and I would recommend him to anyone.

I have been apatient of Dr Smith since 2001. He is incredible, has controled my ulceraive cholitis for 15 year, and is very easy to contact. Every time I leave him a message with his office , he calls me basck the same day while driving home or early the next morning while driving to the hospital. What other Doctor does that? None in my experience. An exceptional physician!

Dr. Smith was referred to me by a friend and I since have referred him to multiple friends. He is caring, consistent, a great listener, full of life, answers, and suggestions. He makes dealing and working with my Chron's disease more than manageable. Putting the patient first since my first visit!
