Patient Reviews
Sep 08, 2023
Went to see Dr. Smith after I had had another surgery and had not been able to keep food down for 5 months loosing almost 26 plus pounds. He did extensive testing and found the problem that the other surgeon never even looked for. After plenty of testing, he did the surgery and now I am able to eat soft foods again and well on the way to the recovery! His bedside manner is perfect and I have never seen such a caring doctor. While in the hospital, he came by sometimes twice a day to check on me and my progress. He thoroughly explained everything he was doing and what my problems were and how he would fix them. I can’t give him a good enough praise because I am now keeping food down and on the road to gaining weight back and getting well. He is the BEST in my opinion!!!
