"We love Dr Smith! Unfortunately Duly allows patients to overbooked with providers and they will have to choose between sub-par care or long waits. Dr Smith has NEVER and will NEVER provide anything less than incredible care for both child and parent. We love her"

"Dr smith is constantly 45 plus minutes late. No one warns you how far behind she is. Trying to keep a little one entertained while waiting is not easy. While she is great once she arrives the wait is AWFUL!"

"I don't think I've ever met a pediatrician more caring for my kids. Dr Smith takes the time to really hear me and will answer my questions to her fullest knowledge. I'm more impressed by her patience to make sure I as the parent feel safe about everything being done or said in her plans or advice."

"This was our first time seeing Dr. Smith and my husband came home saying how much he liked her. He said she was very thorough and sympathetic and was great at talking to our 5 year old. A great thing she did was talk to the parent as a fellow parent which is always comforting. We both agree we would schedule with her again"

"*Dr. Smith is incredibly thorough. Her appointments need to be spaced out more. She cannot conduct a thorough exam in the 20 minutes she is allotted. It's also very hard to get a sick child appt. w/her because she is so popular."
