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.

Joseph is so kind and positive. He makes you forget you are ill. He is always researching ways to help you whether it be medications, medical equipment, or just home remedies. He has made a difference in my health, for the better! If he can’t help you, he will refer you to someone who specializes in your health issues. Paula Pierce

J Brian Brown spent over an hour with me. I brought health information that wasn’t asked for, and he went through it all, and he thanked me for bringing it.

Best Doc Ever
I really appreciate all the time he sits with me to explain things, especially test results. He explains things in layman's terms, which makes me feel comfortable. He is prompt, professional and friendly, always with a nice, big smile on his face. He didn't rush my appointments, rather made sure to answer any questions or concerns I have. Other doctors could take a lesson from Dr. Smith. Thank you

Awesome doc
Brian Smith is a PA, but I was shocked to learn it. His knowledge in his area of expertise is astounding! He is such a pleasure to see. His interest in you and your medical care is truly important to him. He asks questions to get a clear picture of what’s happening, then clearly explains everything and takes the time to answer any questions about your diagnosis or treatment options you may have. He is one of the best practitioners I’ve ever been fortunate enough to be referred to. Several of my specialist’s recommended that I see him! He has a wonderful reputation within Pensacola’s medical community. I believe you will be very well treated under his care.

Joseph Smith Jr. review
His getting you help as quickly as possible. He is thoughtful and covers everything he can think of. Shares loads of information and services to help. He listens to your concerns and finds ways to help you understand things and get you where you need to be. I appreciate all his help and work. Would not be getting the help I need now without him. He is definitely an Asset to his medical field. He could use some help with his ability to spend more time with each patient. He tries hard. Thank you!
