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.

Phenomenal doctor
Dr. Smith is the epitome of everything a good surgeon should be. He’s always treated me like a person rather than just a patient. His bedside manner is amazing. He’s sat with me in the hospital and talked, even though he probably had many other patients to check on. Every time I’m in the ER and he’s on-call he checks on me. He’s always incredibly kind and compassionate. His staff is amazing, too.

Dr Smith was so very kind and caring through everything. He did a great job on my stimulator surgery. I am so thankful to him and all the staff at Baylor. I had complete trust in everyone. And every single staff was amazing.

Handled an extremely difficult procedure for me with excellent results. Took the time required to do a job other physicians would not attempt. This was a second surgery for the same problem. I could not be happier with Dr. Smith, his PA and staff.

It has been an honor to take care of my patients over the years. It was a difficult decision, but I after 40 years of active practice I have closed my practice and am no longer seeing patients. 

Wishing the best for everyone.
