Dr. Smith is one of the best doctors I've ever worked with. My daughter feels comfortable and safe with him. He's always available. He answers all questions. I screwed up on the first couple responses to the survey. I want to make sure that I give Dr. Smith a 10 out of 10. I have no complaints. I would highly recommend him. I'm just grateful that he's my daughter's doctor.
