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.

My kind of doctor
Every visit to Dr. Smith is a pleasant one. He listens well and actually gets me, and knows how to control the conversation so we don't get off track. He makes suggestions that he feels will help me and so far he hasn't been wrong. I love his staff and the way they interact with me. I would recommend this doctor to anyone looking for a good internal medicine doctor.

He is inept, short sighted and prone to more melt downs than a 3 yr old. Given his issues with addiction that go back to the early 1990's when he got his dui, we aren't sure how he can still manage to keep his license. He frequently mismanages care of his patients-glad we realized that and fired him ASAP.

He mismanaged my brother's care. He needs additional training and a psych evaluation!

Both my husband and I have seen Dr. Smith for help with allergies, general cold symptoms and for men's health issues. He is helpful, clear and took the time to explain things further to us. We have had only good experiences with Dr. Smith and will continue to see him.

The previous review was very poorly written, therefore I find it not worth considering. Dr Smiths interactions with my parents over the past few years and especially the past six months have been disgraceful. I'm appalled at the things they have faced dealing with him and lucky he is not the only option for them. Hopefully others will move on as well. Shame on you.
