Muy excelente !!🙏 Dios le siga bendiciendo muy atento con los pacientes⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨
He spoke Spanish. I was able to understand everything he said. Great work Dr. Smith.
After a career at 40 years in healthcare, and working with several physicians over my work life, I can tell you that Dr. Smith is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and he has a very good manner with patients.
Muy buen trabajó excelente gracias,bendici
I think he should have asked me before surgery if I wanted a close up lens in the second eye instead of right before I went in. The little thing that holds your eye open slipped and I wound up with a bruise. The first eye surgery was great.
Very thorough, professional & knowledgeable

Dr. Smith was very professional and detailed while explaining his findings after his examination. I left my appointment feeling confident that he will help alleviate my symptoms now and in the future if needed. Highly recommend!
He is very kind, friendly and explains what he is doing and why.
