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 Neurologist around!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Smith?
I don’t have the words describe what a wonderful doctor, and human being he is. So many neurologists, and so many years of my life wasted, by telling me there’s no cure for my seizures, wait for the “miracle” pill, surgery won’t help you, etc. Some even accused me of lying, and some, of doing drugs. Never did drugs! Found Dr. Smith and within two years in his care I was healed. Dr. Smith gave me back the life seizures stole and worthless neurologists wasted on useless drugs!

He was very knowledgeable, and was up front when he was not positive that a treatment would benefit me or not. I would recommend him.
