He is really trying to make my eyes better.
Always enjoy coming to see Dr. Smith. Puts you at ease. Explains clearly. Easy to talk with.
This surgery has completely changed my eyesight like night and day. I was told you were the best of the best. I truly believe you are.
Versus easy to understand and helpful
Soft spoken very nice and corporatize man.
Dr Smith is the greatest-kind, compassionate and relates well to his patients. He is also an expert and has restored my eyes to great vision!
He has always put my vision as a priority . I have been seeing him for several years and am very happy with his analysis of my situation.
Great manners! Love him
His bedside manner could have been better. He asked me if I ever had hydroxychloroquine and I said for a few months. He said that could be why my retina has retinopathy. But I also read that high blood pressure can cause it and that you have to take years of hydroxy before it could affect your retina. Just got a negative feeling about how he came across. Thank you.
We always appreciate Dr. Smith,he is very professional and positive.
