Dr. Michael Smith was absolutely wonderful!! He gave me so much time and explained my condition thoroughly. I felt that I was in the best hands possible and if that wasn't all that anyone could possibly ask for . I actually had a great time talking with him. He is amazing!!
Always excellent and always given more than enough time to answer any questions or concerns.
Dr Smith is an exceptional care provider who, over the course of this and a prior meeting, was able to talk to all elements of my esophageal situation [...] because of his world class expertise in all matters esophageal dysphagia. Hypotheses that he set forth in our original visit were all borne out by subsequent manometric, PH Impedance, and Barium Swallow testing. Dr Smith is also a consummate people person, exhibiting exceptional bedside manner. Bravo, Dr Smith!
