I am back to try and fix my 1 star review that I left. I was contacted by Dr Smith's office and my issue has been resolved. It was a misunderstanding and I am happy to be back with Dr Smith. The office staff have been super nice to me and treat me like family. They all understood my issue and the lady I had an issue with, no longer works there. Look forward to many more visits with Dr Smith

I was lied to by the woman that gave me my contacts. They want me to pay another $200 for evaluation when they just did one. I would go somewhere else. They are not very courteous.

Dr. Smith and his staff did an outstanding job prior to, during, and after my procedures. I had wonderful results in both eyes following cataract surgery. Highly recommend.

After getting several consultations for LASIK around Birmingham, I decided to go with Dr. Smith. He trained in Texas and has a lot of experience with the newest lasers. I am so happy with my vision. I see better with LASK than I ever did with my contact lenses. Money well spent.

I was referred to Dr. Smith by my family doctor for cataract surgery. Dr. Smith spent time with me, explaining all my options. I was nervous about the surgery, but he helped calm my fears. I have had both of my eyes done by him, and now I see better than I have in years. He has been great through the whole process.His staff are great as well. I would highly recommend him.
