Dr. Smith is a tough, highly effective BP Cardiologist. During my first appointment with her, she was direct as to my treatment and I wasn't sure if I liked that. Since then, I have appreciated
her approach and expertise. I do what she informs me is necessary and it works. I've also learned to see her, as a caring and considerate person. If you see her, make sure to give her approach a fair chance. You will find yourself/ health in a much better place. Thank you, Dr. Smith

Dr. Smith has taken care of me for close to 20 years. She is on top of everything and has kept me in good health. Even though I have several issues related to the heart. She's even helped me with other specialists in the region when I needed care for matters, not related to the heart. I have the highest respect for her.

Dr Smith keeps me healthy. Watching not only my heart related issues but my overall health as well. A good listener who answers questions in a way you can understand. Very glad to have her as my cardiologist.
Mar-2024
She was everything I would want in a cardiologist. She was empathetic but focused on my problems with blood pressure due to an acute stressor. She changed some medications, and responded quickly to my concerns two weeks later, brought me in for further evaluation and recommended additional evaluation. The second visit was also just right balancing empathy and medical expertise.
Mar-2024
very professional
bedside manner not so comforting.
