Patient Comments

October 24, 2018Only doctor I see that's on time, all the time.
October 3, 2018I consider Doctor Smith a friend more than a doctor. He works with me and provides me with easily understood explanations as to what is either happening or will happen. He an I talk about an set goals for my next visit an he displays genuine feelings of success when I succeed.
October 2, 2018Honestly, Dr. Smith is one of the doctor's I enjoy going to. He doesn't treat me like a number and doesn't seemed rushed. In the past, I've considered leaving Cornerstone/Wake Forest because of the "conveyor belt" patient mentality, but he is always concerned, speaks to me like a human and knows about my life and acts interested instead of just trying to get me out of the room quick. It seems like he actually has a level of compassion that's been missing from physician's offices for years.
September 26, 2018I am so glad I found Dr. Smith. Since seeing him my health has improved. He listens & explains things that my previous Dr. did not do.

March 22, 2018Dr. Smith took me out to the desk because my son had to go get gas, instead of bothering the nurse. He is very kind that way.
March 6, 2018Anytime I am asked for a recommendation for an endocrinologist, I recommend Dr Smith. He listens better than almost any other doctor I have visited
February 28, 2018Dr. Smith helped me to get my thyroid condition to a manageable level that I can live with. I feel like my old self again and my quality of life is greatly improved.
February 28, 2018dr Smith is one of the best doctors I have met with over the course of a five year, chronic illness. I have met with dozens of doctors at various institutions and dr smith stands out as a cheerful, pleasantC empathetic, efficient and effective doctor. his personal follow up- calling me personally with test results and to discuss medication options- is something j have rarely experienced and it means a lot. the communication, empathy, and his clear expertise make me feel confident about this provider.
