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.

The best dr in my life
My family dr since 14 years old. I am now 49. Loving, empathetic, sympathetic, honest, loyal and competent!! When you find a doctor like Dr. Smith, you hold on to them. Not many doctors care about their patients. Only about the money.

Dr. Smith was my doctor when I lived in new York, I have know him since 1980. He is the best doctor you can find in New York, he listens to your concerns. He is a great person and doctor. I truly miss him since I moved out of state. I recommend him to everyone.

At this point in time of my life after back surgery. I realized that the background check that I initially gave to Dr. Smith was not only incorrect, but it was very mean. I was upset and took it out on the wrong person. Dr. Noel Smith is a great Doctor and I was wrong to write what I did I am sorry.

Dr. Smith is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain my medical condition to me. He is very empathetic and is always trying to improve my quality of life. I have been going to him for 15 years and will continue to see him. I have recommended him to friends and family members who were just as pleased with his care as I am.

I recently visited Dr. Smith for my annual physical exam and was pleased with getting an appointment with short notice. He is very informative and able to teach while examining. I highly recommend seeing him. It may save your life!

I have been Dr. Smith's patient for 10+ some years. I have had to see other doctors on the occasion when he was not immediately available, and would not want to have to change my doctor for any reason. Heis intelligent, caring, and he listens carefully to what you are telling him about your symptoms. He is an amazing person and physician.

Seeing Dr. Smith for almost a year now, having diabetes, high blood pressure, ow back pain. He switched my Diabetes medication to Farxiga, from Amaryl, and for the first time in abut 8 years, my blood sugar is the lowest it has ever been. I have lost over 40 lbs. (Farxiga suppresses your appetite), and since I lost so much weight, my BP is now normal, and I am no longer taking the BP meds. Now we are working on lowering the Diabetes Meds even more, by adding Bydureon, then working on my back

This is attempt 3 for me noe. I have been a patient of my friend and Doctor for over 3 years. If your a self fuelling pill popper who crystal like a bit cheaper when he does not get what he wants probably not going to be 2 good fit. If your looking for a loyal Doctor with ACCURATE diagnosis than look no further than Doc Smith. Please don't let the staff sway you from seeing this MN he works hard at his practice and more importantlyrics treats you with dignity ND respect. Hats off to doc.

No other doctor besides Dr. Smith (out of all the doctors I have seen) have been able to put me on the right medication. Thank to Dr. smith, he listens, cares, and has me fully functioning the way I should be.

Dr Smith has provided consistently excellent care to my family and others for 15 plus years using high quality traditional/ holistic principles(Integrative medicine). Grandfather developed Temporal Arteritis (inflammation of head arteries) with blindness and physical deterioration on Steroids. Dr Smith detected/corrected the cause saving his vision and life. The strangely critcal previous post on this website is probably a resolvable communication issue with good care as we have gotten.

I would not recommend Dr. Smith. I do not think he is a competent doctor. He made mistakes and did not listen.
