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.

Dr. Smith was not a very good doctor as far as bed side manner. However, I was thoroughly pissed off when my daughter (who had been seeing her for five years) got very sick and I tried to call the office for many days, only to get a voicemail (which was full). After taking my daughter to the ER, I tried to followup--NOTHING! My daughter's condition did not improve so I went to Dr. Smith's office in person only to find that her office had been permanently closed. There was a note on the door that told us where we could get the medical records. She did not notify her patients beforehand, which just goes to show just how "professional" and "caring" she really is.

She is not concerned about the welfare of my daughter! When you bring concerns to her attention, she glosses over them rather than giving detailed information as well as options to correct an issue. Most visits, I walk away very disappointed with the service I received!

Dr. Smith is a wonderful Doctor, but the front desk secretary is rude, unprofessional, she talks to patients and caregivers like we are getting free services, like shes the owner of the office, in the other hand the nurse is friendly, she care about the kids and show compation.

I have been going there for 2 years never had an issue up until now. Never had to deal with more uncaring rude receptionist. I explained if I didn't get an appointment my son would be without his medication. They told me that's my problem. I asked for the Dr to call me back never received a call back.

Our 2 children now 10 & 12 have been patients of Dr. Smith since we moved to the area 4 years ago. She takes the time to really listen to you and your child. You can tell she truly cares about their wellbeing. I trust her 100% with my sons health and treatments.

My experience with Dr. Smith are always great. She takes her time and you never feel rushed. Dr. Smith is friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Smith has a clean office and the wait time is never longer then 10 minutes. I would refer Dr. Smith to my friends and co workers.

Dr. Smith is a very good doctor. She takes her time and treats each patient like a person and not a number. I've had to call her a couple of times on the weekend when my toddler at the time was sick and she would return my call in just a matter of minutes. Great doctor highly recommend!

My experiences with Dr. Smith have been fantastic. She is always thorough in her exams and great with my kids. She explains the exam to my kids before she does anything, which helps to reduces their anxieties. Dr. Smith is extraordinary with my oldest, who requires a little extra patience.

They lost the urine test and no explanation about it. I ask her two weeks ago that the previous month my daughter was at the hospital with bladder infection and that she has pain, but she did nothing no prescription nada. Today 1/7/16 I am back for the same reason after today I am changing pediatrician.
