I can absolutely say this man has saved my mental health from being devastated. I am a 21 year old I was misdiagnosed with glaucoma and potential risk of having cancer in my left eye and Dr. Smith and his crew had me take 6 tests to verify if my eye was at risk and thank the Lord everything came out well and Mr Smith helped me with everything he could. Thank you Dr Smith and may God continue to Bless you and your crew.
