    How was your appointment with Dr. Smith?

    Nov 02, 2022
    I saw Dr. Smith first about 2 years ago. Her physical examination was very gentle. Mammo and ultrasound all negative. Same for 2021. In 2022, however, a cancer was discovered in my left breast which required further study. Then, biopsy. Then, surgery. The surgery went very well, and I'll see her in six months for follow up. All of the people in her office are very professional, efficient, and pleasant. Every visit to her office is easy. Dr. Smith is easy to talk to and very sweet. She also did a great job on my surgery and got it all. I would definitely recommend her.
