I have been a patient of Dr. Smith for several. I know people speaking of her as being firm. I appreciate this. It's let's me know that she takes her patients health problems very serious. I would rather have that than have someone doesn't listen to my concerns, doesn't have time foe me. She keeps me in line regarding my health.
