Excellent. She makes me feel seen and heard. But what is best is I trust her.

Dr. Smith truly listens and genuinely cares. She’s committed to making sure the right tests are done to reach an accurate diagnosis. In a time when so many doctors seem rushed and disconnected, it’s incredibly refreshing to have a physician who is thoughtful, thorough, and invested in her patients’ well-being. With Dr. Smith, I feel safe and confident in the care I’m receiving.

I have been a patient of Dr Smith for over 10 years . I love her. She can be very blunt and to the point but that's what I love about her!

4/4. Mean, nasty, after this appointment I will be seeking out new Cardiologist. I am sorry that I don't make the money she does and get my meds through the VA and not a pharmacy. She was nasty to my wife also, kept going out to her. Wouldn't let her in the room even though there was a chair. Can't believe how she acted to both of us. Time for a change.
