Very impressed. He listened to my problems and was very caring and concerned.
Dr Smith is Phenomenal. He’s patient, thorough and caring!
Dr. Phillip, in my experience with him since day one when he came to the hospital to visit with me, has been “tops.” I appreciate how respectful he is, along with being an intentional good listener. If there’s a test I may benefit from, he’s not “pushy,” but rather explains the “whys,” and simply asks if I’d like to have it done. I enjoy our appointments bc of how he is.
