Prac­tic­ing med­i­cine and hav­ing patients trust me to the extent that they are able to share their per­son­al prob­lems is a priv­i­lege.

"Dr. Smith met, and excelled, every standard I had when we met during my first appointment. And, being 77, I've seen many physicians in my time and refused to return to those who did not meet or exceed my standards. My succinct comment on the visit: His report card gets straight A's!Dr. Smith was amicable, interested in -- and listened attentively to -- what I had to say, asked a few questions, then explained his suggestions regarding the next step in my care. His recommendations were outlined briefly to my satisfaction and in a caring manner. A nice touch was saying he was glad to have met me and shook hands with me at the conclusion of my appointment."
