Lab wait time too long . I waited 35 minutes this visit and 45 minutes last visit. There were 3 lab collectors there, but there needs to be a more efficient process!

This was my first visit with Dr. Smallwood, so it was a brand new experience for me with this doctor and this team. The entire team was very cordial and courteous. The office was very efficient to process in my arrival and my wait time was maybe five minutes to see the doctor. I would say this was exceptional service. Dr. Smallwood was friendly and professional, but very thorough in her approach to my annual physical. Her willingness to discuss in detail my thoughts and health concerns was very much appreciated. I was very pleased with this as an initial visit.

Dr Smallwood is a nurse's Dr. She listens, engages, and offers a clear pathway to a diagnosis. She neither dismisses nor diminishes my concerns. I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon her practice many years ago. I wish more providers would offer her sense of insight and support.

They always give me great feedback and listen to my concerns for me and my son. I really appreciate them and keep up the great work. Only thing I would say is sometimes it's hard to get an appointment, but that's it. Thank you.

Dr. Smallwood is incredibly intuitive, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and professional. I'm so grateful to have her as my primary care physician. She has discovered serious health issues that I believe may have gone undiagnosed without her diligent care.
