    • February 21, 2019Dr. Smith is an excellent physician. He takes time to make sure you understand what you need to know about your condition. He has the best personality and is easy to talk to. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to him. HE IS THE BEST!!
    • February 10, 2019Great
    • February 6, 2019I think Dr. Smith is excellent, he is the only provider that actually calls to tell me any information required for my care and I see several providers in your system. All the physicians should be like that, it shows they really care about your well being.

    • 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.

    • August 31, 2018Dr Smith is one of the best doctors I have ever had!
    • August 17, 2018I have recommended Dr. Smith many times to friends and co-workers.
    • August 7, 2018I liked Dr Smith a lot. Hopeful, for the first time in a long time.
    • July 31, 2018I have osteoporosis & am scheduled for a bone density test - *Dr. M. Smith is a wonderful caring doctor! Love him I am old enough to be his grandma.
    • July 3, 2018Dr. Smith is the BEST doctor I have had EVER!!! He actually LISTENS to me! I hope he NEVER leaves this area because I NEED him to be my Thyroid doctor!!

    Why No Ratings

    Currently, not all doctor ratings and comments are available. The number of rated physicians will increase over time. 
    The more ratings a provider receives, the more accurate and statistically reliable the data is. Providers with less than 30 ratings may not have patient ratings listed on their profiles.
