I've been seeing Dr Smith for a few years now. She takes her job very seriously and leaves no stone unturned. Because of her persistence she not only has helped me with my blood pressure but her follow through has revealed other chronic issues I was having and we're able to get corrected outside of her office. She is a unique and talented person. I would recommend her to anyone. She has helped me tremendously.
Dr. Smith is so very thorough, careful, and thoughtful - exactly what I want in any physician, especially my cardiologist. She is highly gifted intellectually, asks the right questions, and wants the best possible outcome for me. My health is her primary concern. Top rating.
Dr Smith is incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. I have a complicated case, and she explained everything clearly and referred me to a specialist before providing a protocol. Highly recommend.
Dr Smith was very patient. Dr Smith explained things thoroughly in a way I was able to understand and was very clear about what to do move forward. Dr Smith discussed additional resources. I didn't feel like rushed. She listened to me, my questions, my concerns, my misunderstandings. I would highly recommend Dr Smith.
I had been looking forward to seeing Dr. Smith to finally get some answers after under going multiple tests. I was referred to her by the cardiologist at Capital cardiology in hopes to get to the bottom of what was causing the sudden serve hypertension. I was woken from my sleep about 2 months ago in a severe cardiac crisis with unstable angina that lasted 10 days and ended up in the hospital. I missed two weeks of work and that is the first time I've missed work in 10 years unless I was sick. prior to this issue that I had missed 6 days and 10 years. I've had some serious health problems going on and I feel extremely unheard and dismissed. A few of the tests that were performed were not performed accurate nor were they explained to me. I felt less than heard as she interrupted me numerous times and held her hand up and told me to allow her to finish. She did not allow me to speak or tell her any of the things that I want to do at that visit. I drive an hour to get there and wait an hour to see her and then get treated like crap .There was tension between herself and the running nurse. I'm not sure what occurred before my arrival, but I can promise you that I did not get the service that I needed or had hoped for. I left extremely frustrated and decided that I will no longer be patient of capital cardiology. She was rude and did not even take the time to look through my charts, She took about 2 seconds to look at my blood work. My personal experience with her was horrible and her bedside manner has quite a bit of to be desired.
