I have been seeing Dr. Smith for over 15 years. He is very thorough, knowledgeable and professional. He performed 2 cataract excisions with lens implants and another procedure involving removal of proteinaceous accretions in both eyes. He also saw me once on an emergent basis for removal of a foreign body in my eye. He has a very busy practice. I am thoroughly satisfied with his services as are many of my friends who see him. Highly recommended.

Dr. Smith is very knowledgeable and I fully trust him with any eye issues I might incur. He is pleasant to work with and spends time answering any questions you have without making you feel rushed or incompetent. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Smith is very friendly and extremely competent. But mostly he really cares. He calls to check up on you and what impressed me most was that he wheeled me into the operating theater himself, dont see too many surgeons do that
