Dr. Smiley has been exceptional. She is highly knowledgeable and thorough, but what stood out most was how genuinely she listened. I never felt rushed — she took my symptoms seriously and advocated for me when I needed it most. Her support made a stressful time feel manageable, and I’m truly grateful for her care.
