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.

    The dr. Help with referring me to another dr. But, I was for almost a month dealing with this numbness in my tight off and on . He mentioned that I need to trust them but, I was more worried than what he mentioned that he saw his notes. I was thinking maybe my leg was having circulation problems or inflammation. He said no circulation. He needed to understand that I was just worried for my health. I do follow the instructions for my medication. I just heard that Naproxen is bad for my kidneys and was not trying to get worse. I appreciate the assistance but, when I been a month dealing with this is a bit frustrating. Cause I been trying therapy on my foot, vitamins and stretching. The dr. Before him mentioned that I should lose weight. All my lab is ok but need to see what is causing this issue.I am eating healthier but, didn’t like her comment. Please be more understanding with your patients because they might just be in pain.Thank you

    Dr. Smith is an amazing physician. He explains why he gives the diagnosis that he does. He doesn’t just say “you have this” and sends you on your way. He has great bedside manner as well. If he could be my PCP I would elect him in a heartbeat.

    My first time at this clinic. Front office staff took care of everything. Dr Smith was friendly and knowledgeable. I left feeling that all my needs were met.
