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.

Great experience
We finally got answers for allergies and asthma that we needed. Everything was thorough and Dr Smith really listened to our concerns and made a great plan moving forward for our 7 yr old.

Trustworthy!!!!!!
Dr. Smith, an honest Dr. Who made things right. I felt hopeless for a bit. Makes me happy to know there are still good people out there. I'm extremely thankful and feel blessed to call him my sons pulmonologist. Feel the same for Dr. Patel. My son is safe. Thank you for focusing on the patient. Much love.

Excellent Care
Dr Smith provides excellent care to my son who has cerebral palsy. Although my son is nonverbal, Dr Smith pays attention to his body language and takes time to assess him carefully.

Knowledge and Caring Dr.
Dr. Smith and staff were amazing. Dr. Smith listened to our concerns and was very thorough with the explanation he gave us regarding the situation at hand. Love that he wants to improve and possibly cure my daughter’s breathing challenges. He is very genuine and seems like he does not want to maintain my daughter but help her get better. Very ethical and professional Dr. and staff.

Absolutely the BEST!
My premature daughter had so many pulmonary issues for the first few years of her life. We were in and out of the hospital for 2 years before we switched her care team. Dr Kelly smith was the only doctor who took the time and absolute best care of my daughter. He wasted no time getting her on the best plan and meds to control her breathing. She has not been hospitalized since! She is now a happy and VERY healthy 6 year old. Thank you Dr Kelly Smith!

After speaking with Dr. Smith I can finally feel at ease with what has been going on with my son. He educated me in a way that I could actually understand unlike what most doctors do. Amazing staff, and amazing service.

Very Impressed
When Dr. Smith first walked in, he immediately put both my son and myself at ease with a friendly greeting and firm hand shake. He listened carefully to what my son had to say and asked important follow up questions. He was very attentive and noticed that my son was drawing air into his lungs primarily using his chest and ribs more than his diaphragm. He taught my son a breathing exercise to help develop muscle memory in his diaphragm. It would be unfair if I didn’t mention his staff. Up front, Ramona was so helpful in rescheduling our appointment by routing us up to the practice manager who was able to squeeze us in on a packed schedule. We spent just a short time in the waiting room until we we’re called back to the examination room. There, a very friendly employee promptly took my son for a breathing test. I can’t think of a single complaint.

Great doctor
Dr. Smith's staff is friendly and quick to respond to questions. Dr. Smith was knowledgeable and helped work with my son on getting the right combination of medicine to prevent future hospital visits for his asthma issues. Prior to becoming a patient with Dr. Smith my son went to the hospital for breathing issues multiple times and since becoming a patient he hasn't been back once.

We absolutely love Dr. Smith! He has been our children’s Pulmonologist for 10 years now and we have always been pleased with him and his staff. He always takes the time we need to answer our questions, explain things well, and interact with our kiddos. He is accessible, has great bedside manner, and offers telehealth visits, which is huge for us. He has helped us so many times and we feel like our children are in excellent hands with his care.
