Dr. Claude Brand Smith, MD

Thats all I will say. Trust your gut, even if your therapist says your paranoid.

Not very knowledgeable about medications at all

doesn't seem to care just going by the book just getting you in and out for the next paycheck

Dr. Smith is at a new location called "The Mandala Center" located in Belvedere Square. First of all, the office is beautiful and just a calming place to be. The staff is fun, outgoing, and caring. They really do try to have the patients best interests at heart. They offer a variety of services, not just behavioral health but wellness as well. Hypnosis, acupuncture, massage, yoga, and they accept Medicaid for not only behavioral health but go beyond and offer discounted classes for around $5 for acupuncture and yoga which are normally $120 and $20 per class. I have never seen anything like it. As for Dr. Smith, he is engaged with his patients, he listened to me, and didn't seem to mind that I cried through the entire first session, very empathetic. I would highly recommend him and the center. I called for an appointment and was told it would be until the end of May...they called me and moved me up to a sooner appointment about two weeks after my initial call to them. To say… the least I am impressed by The Mandala Center and just purchased a Groupon for a 60 minute massage for $60. What a great place for all of your wellness and mental health needs.

Dr.Smith is amazing taking time to understand what goes on in your life. He is a great listener and tries to show concern even when others dont
