Patient Reviews
May 17, 2023
Dr. Allison Smith is one of the most compassionate doctors I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting as is his staff. My brother had been misdiagnosed for 30 years. Dr.Smith worked diligently tapping in to every resource possible to get the best treatment for him as possible. My brother had Polymyositis and sclera derma. Dr Smith went above and beyond explaining in detail about his diagnosis and treatment. He told my brother at his last visit I’ll fight for you to get treatment as long as you want . He never rushed us. I even saw how touched he was after his last visit with him when I stepped in his office to ask another question. My brother would pass away about a week after his last visit with Dr. Smith. I received a hand written note personalized to my situation after my brother passed from Dr.Smith which meant so much to me. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Smith for the 14 months he extended my his life. Dr. Smith thank you seems so inadequate. Sincerely, SBP
