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.

    Staff at front desk was great. Doctor Smith was amazing took time to explain everything to me. He gave me a referral. I was wheezing and the medication helped with my breathing. He is one of the best doctors I’ve ever seen at ARC. Most times in most clinics you are treated quickly not Dr. Smith, I treated as if he was my primary doctor. God bless him and the staff.

    The nurse was very nice and the doctor was very informative and took good care of me right away no problems. I would recommend members of my family to go there for urgent care thank you. No problems at all.
