"Dr. Smith is the best! She is so warm, gentle, and yet informative when interacting with my kids. They love her because she speaks to them like a they are part of the team (which they are) and explains things to them but is also just so sweet with them. She is so thorough and goes out of her way to keep us informed. I highly recommend Dr. Smith!"

"We were floored with her thoroughness. She's exactly what we've been looking for : a doctor looking for the whole picture and not trying to throw band aid fixes as symptoms. Let's find the root cause and address the bigger picture - she explained everything so well to my husband and then even called me afterwards to speak directly with me (I'm assuming because she knew dads don't always communicate well to moms) was so impressed"
