Doctor Smiley did a total hysterectomy on me April 2015. She made a huge mistake and clipped my colon. She didn’t know it and took her 3 days to figure that out and call in a specialist to help. Till this day I am having issues and she will not step up and help me. She promised to pay my dr bills and did not. Will not pay anything. She needs help and Jesus because of everything she has put me and my family through and still hasn’t helped.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Smiley, she is the BEST doctor to have. I traveled over 2.5 hours to see Dr. Smiley From my first appointment, I knew she would be the doctor that performed my surgery. Dr. Smiley is the definition of excellence.

I am a former patient of Dr. Smiley. I was very pleased with her up close and personal care during my emergency procedure in 2015. She knew her job well and in my opinion she got the job done right the 1st time! I would highly recommend Dr. Smiley to anyone who needs expertise service and who shows compassion for people and their wellbeing.

I have met Dr Linda Smiley several times since last May and I know she is a wonderful gynecologist. Dr Smiley is kind, very caring, understanding, considerate and helpful! She always does her very best to solve my health problem in term of diagnosis, prescribe medications, treatments and emotional support, including a recent surgery. I have been so grateful for all her great help, especially for the special prescription, which I cannot get from any other doctors! God Bless Dr Smiley!!!

Would not recommend her for surgery. She made a mistake that anyone could have made & clipped my colon but it took her a week to find it. Also I am still in lots of pain with no help. No help with medical bills, time missed off work, can’t finf a job so no money. But no help besides a small Christmas check. It would be nice for some help! But she was a very good doctor till she started caring more about herself then me and my family.

Dr. Smiley is a very caring doctor. She listens to and answers you and your family questions. She explains things to you and your family. She even looked for my family after my surgery for Ovarian Cancer, and found them in the cafeteria downstairs. You don't find many doctors like her.
