I went for my annual physical and check up, as well as lab work. I appreciate the caring manner in which Ariel, Dr. Smith's nurse greeted me and checked my vitals. Dr. Smith took plenty of time with me, answered all my questions, and gave me good advice on continuing my health/exercise regimen. I trust her completely and am grateful that she is my doctor.
The appointment was for a physical (annual wellness). The doctor did the exam and we talked about my concerns and her recommendations for my health including a research study I could be part of. I received a vaccination and the doctor had the scheduler set up some screenings to follow up on problems I have. Then I had blood drawn for lab work and went home. I had only short wait times before and during the visit. Everyone was pleasant.
This was my annual physical and the first that Dr Smith had done as Scott Gurley had always done them in the past. Dr. Smith was very thorough with her questions and with her exam. She was very professional in our discussions about a few more personal issues. She made me feel quite comfortable with her handling of the exam and with those discussions. She has ask me last year after Scott Gurley left if her being my doctor was going to make me uncomfortable and of course I told her it wouldn't and it has not. We always talk about my diet and loosing weight and all the other things that we need to discuss and she is always very helpful and understanding.
