Patient Reviews
Sep 21, 2023
Smith is honest and straightforward. Saw him back in the 90's and again in 2023. The office told me he went on sabbatical and they did not know if and when he was coming back. I really would like to see him again and do not understand why he is gone. He is a really good man with expertise work ethics. Why are all the great doctors leaving the practice with such excellent work they have done in the past and currently? i am extremely sad he has not returned. Building trust with a doctor is extremely important. Whyhas he left??
