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. Rod Smith has been my son's neurologist since a near death tbi in 2009. He has been outstanding in every way possible and is truly a Godsend. My son is 18 now and will be in my guardianship for many years to come. It's so nice when you have a question to not only get an answer, but he personally called today with a very detailed voicemail answer that most doctor's (I know they're all busy people) would wait until a nurse or secretary could leave instead. That personal touch is priceless. Thank you so much Dr. Smith

Nice guy...not good doctor. He was my pediatric neurologist for 6+ years (I only kept him as a neurologist because my parents didn't know where else to go), treating me for epilepsy. He was impersonal, and didn't listen well. I DO NOT recommend him.
