Excellent knowledge and ability to explain my condition and future treatment options. However, I waited 2-1/2 hours to see the doctor. I question his office management’s abilities.

Dr. Smith has literally changed the quality of my eye sight. I love walking and can now see the trees on the mountain tops. I thank Dr. Smith every single morning. I had cataract surgery two years ago and am so grateful that I did. Dr. Smith is the best. I also appreciate the fact he truly cares for all his patients.
