MIchael Smith's Online Review Report Card

I was impressed by Dr. Smith from the moment I walked into his office. The receptionist was wonderful and his nurse was the best. From the moment Dr. Smith walked into the door he seemed to have a calming effect on me and my family! Dr. Smith explained my cancer and my treatment options to us in very simple and easy to understand terms. He was not hurried or in a rush at all, and spent all of the time we needed to make sure I understood everything about my cancer and treatment and had all of our questions answered. I am delighted about my decision to choose Dr. Smith as my cancer doctor.

Dr. Smith's office was a pleasure from the moment I walked in the door. The receptionist was friendly and the forms were short. Dr. Smith was right on time with my appointment! He had already reviewed my case before he came in the room. He was extremely caring, compassionate and confident. He answered all of my questions and many more I hadn't even thought about asking! I am completely confident that Dr Smith will give me excellent care! I would recommend him highly to my friends and family!

Michael Smith has been my doc for over 25 years and is always informed, compassionate and in every way available. His clinic is a busy one and short waits are not unusual and should be factored in for any visit. Part of the reason for delays is that Dr Smith never hurries an exam and takes the time to check the whole patient not just the problem that urged the consult. Five minutes extra will back up a schedule. I'd rather wait a bit and get the extra time than be processed on a tight schedule so some one in the waiting room doesn't write a rant to Yelp about the indifferent staff. His nurses are skilled and really pleasant and the front staff, while busy , have never, in my experience, been anything other than cordial and caring. Smith is very up to date on many new trends in medicine and also embraces many non-western ideas. He is hands down, the best doctor in the Bay Area.

The office staff is the greatest. They always find a way in to see Dr. Michael Smith, or another doctor when he is away. When Dr. Smith was unavailable, the other doctors were always able to help address my illness and concerns. While Dr. Smith is pretty much full service family doctor, he also provides acupuncture and Neuroendocrine Immunology, Metabolic and Nutrition, and Osteopathy (Cranial Sacral therapy). I have been a patient for a few decades (with about a decade break in the middle). When I returned to him I was in bad shape. The doctor during my break period, in the town where I sleep, had me on some terrible medications not properly suited for my conditions. Dr, Smith sorted all of the issues out and nurtured me back to a path of good health. Dr. Smith has corrected issues of mine regarding warts, scare tissue, influenza, impotency, gallbladder disease, lacerations, exhaustion, hypertension, sinus infections, ganglion cysts, and extreme pain from numerous injuries. He has utilized a blend of healing techniques including acupuncture, pharmaceutical prescriptions, prolotherapy, biopuncture, and Osteopathy (Cranial Sacral therapy). And one feature lost in many offices - he listens to the patient and engages in a conversation to sort out the ailment from a wide perspective. I get sick, or hurt myself, Dr. Smith repairs or directs the repairs to heal me. I returned to him in a very crippling state of health 11 years ago, and within a few months I was feeling better, and I now feel better than I did 18 years ago. Go see him - he, his staff and co-doctor's are good!

Dr. Smith is an amazing person as well as the very best doctor from whom I've received care. I was devastated when I was diagnosed with anal cancer. I immediately went to the internet and read about terrible statistics, treatment options, etc. My cholorectal specialist made an appointment for me with Dr. Smith. I had daily treaments and Dr. Smith met with me weekly. He ia a calm, gentle, reassuring man who's enthusiasm and "cheerleading" helped me gain a positive attitude, not only about beating the cancer, but about life in general. I am cancer-free.

I have had numerous health issues related to a congenital issue, and tried many doctors over the years. But very few have had the right mix of high knowledge, excellent communications skills, and top-notch bedside manner. But Dr. Michael Smith hits high on all three notes. He has been doing prolotherapy with me for some time now, and the differences in my health are extremely good. I cannot recommend Dr. Smith highly enough - five stars is only enough to get you in the door. There needs to be ten.

I was diagnosed with cancer and I got an appointment to see Dr Smith the very next day. He was extremely thorough about explaining my cancer and treatment options. I decided to get radiation with Dr Smith, and during the 9 weeks of treatment, Dr Smith and his staff were the best I can imagine! I am completely satisified.
