Dr Smallwood always has the utmost sincerity in caring about my health and treating me in ways I'm comfortable with. The staff I encounter every time is friendly and helpful. My only criticism is the temperature control on the building. It's extremely cold in the waiting area and then start sweating in the exam room from the difference. But it's a minor inconvenience for the best care.
