It was my first visit with Dr. Smith. He asked questions about me, my health to get to know me by phone. He explained the results of my MRI and noted the office will be in touch to schedule my next appointment.

My previous neurosurgeon would go over the lab order results and compare them to the results from the prior test . He would then compare the MRI with the year before and explain the imaging. This new neurosurgeon just said " it looks the same as your last one done " then focused his attention at talking to my husband about what kind of work my husband and did . NEVER did he addressed my test results from the lab work that was done . He also asked me " why I was wearing a mask " my response was " hospitals aren't full of healthy people and I don't want to get sick . I'm sure he is a very intelligent doctor however the appointment was to address my pituitary gland tumor . Not about my husband or what he does for work

After my surgeon at [redacted] cancelled my pituitary adenoma surgery four days before it's date, I had to scramble. [redacted], Dr. Smith's coordinator listened, Got my images and showed them to Dr Smith all while I was on hold. I had a virtual appointment with him within 20 minutes and am scheduled for surgery next week. So unbelievably grateful to them both!!

My provider was on time, very, very easy to speak with, very easy to understand. He also included my wife in the conversation, which was very important to me. And I went in not knowing him or ever meeting him. And when I left, I felt very confident that I was in good care.
