I have been so blessed to call him my doctor for 5 years!! We moved to S.C. from Va where I lived my whole life.. having Dr Smith as my doctor has been amazing!!!

I feel that having him as my… See more
I appreciate Dr. Smith's availability when needed and, particularly, his willingness to always treat me as a person capable of understanding his positions and suggestions when it comes to my health.
