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.

    Great experience at Buda ARC staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful from the moment I walked in. The doctor took the time to listen to my concerns and explained everything clearly. I never felt rushed and the whole visit was smooth and pleasant.

    Dr. Smith was so caring and nice. He took time with me and listened to me. I really appreciated how he treated me and talked to me. I was truly taken back. I would love to have him as my full time GP if possible. Thank you Dr Smith for being a gentleman and a wonderful doctor!
