My wait time was over 15 minutes because the previous patient had a lot of questions. I appreciate that Dr Smith took time to answer those questions and also that he took time to fully answer my questions. It is important to me that a doctor makes sure that the patient's questions are completely answered and explained.

It was 5 months before I could get an appointment originally and then my appt. Was put off for another month. Dr. Smith is very informative and I have Confidence in his surgical skilll. He spent a good time with me but I had over an hour wait to see him. Then he abruptly left and that was it. I kept thinking he would come back and finish the explanation but the assistance came and gave me my paper work to go. It felt unfinished.

He is one of the most thorough doctors, explaining and discussing all aspects of the three procedures, he was going to repair. Then In the follow up explaining how, why, and what was done answering my questions. He went over and beyond from anything I have learned to expect from doctors In the past. My only complaint was the wait time for an appointment and then again for the surgery schedule. I don't think that Is a personal doctor Issue. I feel It Is a shortage of surgeons in today's world and the high need for surgical rooms, attendants, and demand for the robotic assist equipment needed to accommodate patient's surgical/procedural needs.

Dr. Smith and staff are exceptional. They were professional and treated me with kindness. I appreciate the time Dr. Smith spent with me during the appointment. He thoroughly explained my condition and took time for my questions. The office was prepared for my visit and had my test results available before my appointment.
