“I’m deeply grateful for Dr. Ryan Smith, who, even after long days starting early and ending late, took time to call me in the evening after my surgery to check on me. He and his team also took the time to speak to my family with great courtesy. He offered exceptional care for me, guided me through big decisions, and went above and beyond. I’m so thankful to have him on my team, and I highly recommend him.”

Great with doctor/patient relationship. He explained things so that I was not nervous and could understand them. I appreciated how he treated me as a person and not just a number. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has a need for Ophthalmology.
