Dr. Smith is an exceptional physician. He promptly identified an ear infection around my daughter’s surgically placed tube—an issue that had been overlooked by multiple providers for months. Her intermittent pain finally had an explanation. Despite being a specialist, Dr. Smith runs on time, which is rare and greatly appreciated by this working mom.
We traveled over an hour to see him, and within 30 minutes, my 3-year-old underwent a hearing test, a throat scope, and had her ears cleaned—all without a single tear. His efficiency, skill, and ability to be quick and super thorough is truly impressive.

We met with Dr. Smith as our newborn son had a tongue tie. He was very efficient and provided relative information to make a decision on how to proceed. The rest of his team was also very pleasant. We will return should we ever have to. Thank you Dr. Smith and team!
He basically saved my newborn daughter’s life. Cannot say enough good things about him. A fantastic diagnostician, beyond compassionate and works with parents to come up with a plan. G-d answered my prayers when he entered our lives.
