I developed a love of medicine as a paramedic and respiratory therapist, and medical school gave me the knowledge and skills to better care for those around me. Being able to help people with different problems continues to be one of the greatest joys of being a family doctor. Besides helping patients with their health problems, I have learned valuable lessons and insights from my patients.

    This appointment was one of the smoothest I have had in recent times. The staff and doctor were timely and kind. They listened well and were personable.

    Dr. Smith was wonderful. He listened and made sure I had the prescriptions I needed for relief. I hope to see him next I need medical attention.

    My only real issue was with the MA who took me back. I was explaining my symptoms and she just made me feel like I didn’t need to be seen or my symptoms weren’t serious enough. I’ve had a continuous headache for the last couple of days and I let her know I was a low grade fever kid when I was younger and she didn’t even take my temperature. She asked if I had a fever and at that time I said no but she still could’ve checked. I normally don’t deal with headaches/migraines so I wanted to get it checked out and I felt as if I was brushed off. I’ve been coming to ARC for as long as I can remember and I haven’t had an experience like this.
