Dr. Smart is an extremely compassionate and knowledgeable physician, well versed in an expansive variety of medical issues. Despite the consistant difficulties and Government inserted obstacles presented in receiving Class II-Narco Script, almost every month, I would adimantly recommend him to anyone inquiring of a Primary Care Physician. I appreciate his quick wit and tolerance of my blunt observations and less than stellar methods of expressing my concerns. I do hope to expand on his limited knowledge of baseball in the near future.

Dr Smart is an excellent doctor! I have been going to him for 12 years. He is very attentive to your needs and listens and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. His nurse, Jodi, is SO sweet and caring. The other staff members can be hard to get along with at times, but for the most part are helpful.

Dr.Smart is an excellent doctor. Although, a majority of his staff members don't represent themselves well as professionals. Nor, do they look in the best interest of Dr. Smart's patients at times.
