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.

    Dr Smith was careful. Took time with me. And was explanatory in his diagnosis. First time to see him but would seek him out in the future.

    It was easy to follow instructions and access to update my profile. The only thing I recommend is to add a payment option on the account dashboard.

    I got a same day appointment and I was so happy it was with a nice provider that was very knowledgeable and explained to me what medications he was prescribing me and why. I hope to feel better quickly. Thank you for your help and time.

    Showed up early and checked in. 5 minutes later I’m in my room getting checked out by the nurse. Doctor walks in soon after and Dr Smith was thorough and took care of what I needed. I was in and out before my actual appointment time. Thank you
