Dr. Smith is an excellent surgeon. His expertise is well known and we chose him because he was so highly recommended by two other doctors. But there is a level of personal care in this practice that is uncommon. He and his staff know your name when you call or visit, they know what procedure or condition you're dealing with, they greet you like you're an old friend, and they respond immediately to calls. Skills are important, but this doctor is also personable in a way that is rare these days. Definitely recommended.
