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.

Very good, if Dr. Smith wasn’t retiring I would very much recommend him to my friend and family.

After x- Rays of my hand (for trigger finger) Dr Smith came in and thoroughly explained what was wrong with my finger. He then informed me of the four treatment options and explained each option and the pros and cons of each. Excellent Doctor. Would recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Dr Smith is the best hand Dr I have ever seen, and I have seen several over the years. He explains your condition and options for treatment in a very concise manner. I am a busy professional and I appreciate that I am always seen at my appointment time. I would recommend him to anyone who wants 1st class service and quality care.

I couldn’t have asked for a better first visit. After coming from a previous physician that mismanaged my case, this visit was a breath of fresh air from the front desk staff on.

I had my consult with Dr. Smith regarding fractured wrist. His explanation of my treatment options was clear and gave me confidence in his professional judgment. I was at peace about my decision. The Support staff were very helpful working me in at holiday season. I left with gratitude that I am receiving excellent medical care for this injury.

Dr Smith did my wrist surgery and I couldn’t expect things to go more smoothly! He and his staff are caring, friendly, and professional. He also performed surgery on my husbands wrist and we both highly recommend Dr Smith!

These guys are top notch. I had my left pinky amputated on March 24, 2017. I had no insight or prior experience coming in & my overall nature is a bit distrusting when it comes to healthcare & Docs. One puts a great deal of faith into these things and ultimately do believe what's being told to you. Dr. Smith is a straight shooter who knows his stuff inside and out. Staff is excellent. Procedure, stitching, recovery, care, concern and follow up - I was very fortunate I ended up here. The best!
