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.

Knowledgeable, listens, cares,
Took about two years and three rheumatologist before I got a diagnosis with Dr. Smith. He was the first that really seemed to want to hear what I was going through so he could find the best solution for me. We are very much aligned with my preference to be on as little medication as possible, but when I have flare ups, I have what I need to be able to work and function.

As a primary care physician, I have consulted Dr. Smith on my patients, and he is extremely thorough. He takes the time to carefully evaluate patients with complex medical conditions to ensure that they get appropriate individualized care. I highly recommend him as a rheumatologist.

I was treated for over 10 years for gout, had knee surgery which did nothing except cause more pain, and then I went to Dr. Smith. He took the time to listen to everything that I said and found a treatment for me that got me out of pain. I forgot what it was like to feel good until I became one of his patients. He is very compassionate and cares for his patients. I am so grateful that I found him!
