Vision after 18 months worse than pre op. Do your homework because she doesn’t.

My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Smirh and have recommended her to all of our friends. She treats both of us for glaucoma and we are able to manage it so much better with the new meds she has given us. We think very highly of her.

Dr. Allison Smith is simply one of the best!! She is an understanding caring professional and very experienced doctor. I expected a bit longer wait since I had to fill out paperwork, but the staff was very friendly and prompt. The wait was no time at all. I would recommend her to anyone! She is wonderful!

I saw Dr. Smith at Baptist Hospital and had a wonderful experience. She has great interpersonal skills and does not try to "push" cataract surgery when it is not necessary.
