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.
As always, I received excellent care.
As always, pleasant, professional & thorough. Each staff member I dealt with was superb. Friendly as always.
He was very friendly and educated. I was there to talk to him about why I was not happy with my IOL multifocal cataract surgery lens replacement, that I paid $6000 for two eyes, and I wasn’t getting my moneys worth due to less than perfect results. I thought maybe I was being too picky but Instead of getting mad, he was very sympathetic and told me I have every reason to be Feeling that way. He came up with a solution that made me happy. They are going to fix my vision with laser and it is included in what I already paid.
Really like doctor Smith. Listens to you and is easy to communicate with.
Very happy and appointment on time
