Rebecca Herman-Smith's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Herman-Smith was not knowledgeable or kind. Gave me bad medical advice. Dismissive. Looking at all her bad reviews online I can see I am not the only one with this experience.

Extremely arrogant doctor where the patient has little to say. Enjoys power over her patients ..... She told me I did not have any other option except to follow her..... The last visit she dare to tell me and this is verbatim: " you are such a horrible patient.... Yes YOU ARE ..." assertion that let me with my mouth wide opened!!! She was irritated that I had not been taken one of the drugs she prescribed( it was destroying my guts and had horrible diarrea)... She followed by saying -verbatim " I cannot understand how you can be so precise in your job but so careless with your health matters.. " clearly implying that I was an incompetent in my job when she does not know me from anywhere/anything except my visits to her office. FOR ME THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!!! My opinion is that she is not qualified to deal with patients and they should cancel her license. She was pushing to prescribe as many drugs as she could for her own profit... SCANDALOUS.. there is a couple of more things ..courts

I like this whole practice. She is a very caring and attentive doctor and explains well why she is wanting to prescribe a certain medication or why I need to continue something. Recommend to anyone moving to Frederick.

She is a good doctor, even a better person, but her staff is utterly incompetent.

Don’t waste your time on her practice or any other FPC practice. Extremely inconsiderate uncaring rude doctor with rude egotistical backward nurse and front office staff. I was a new patient in her practice (just moved from out of state) with a lot of health issues (spine, knee, feet, chronic asthma, severe chronic fatigue and ovarian Cists), in addition to being the single mother of a special needs child in a stressful relationship. And she and her nurse got all of this out of me the first two visits. And also managing a new job. She without a word dismissed me from her practice when her rude egotistical entitled nurse and staff refused to work with my new insurance change on covering my birth control pills. Essentially the nurse was too busy to return insurance calls, was ignoring them and the front office staff was upset about me being upset about this. Two-faced deceitful individuals like her and her staff don’t deserve the privilege of getting yours or your insurance money

I found Dr. Herman-Smith to be attentive, patient and professional. Would gladly refer her to anyone looking for quality medical care.

Found her as very arrogant and unkind. Very unprofessional and unhelpful. Never planning on seeing her again

Self medication doctor...

I'd say about half of the office staff is friendly, the other half is rude. Wait time on the phone is always ridiculous. Wait time in the office as well. Over an hour wait today. When she finally arrived (after I called the front desk to see if I was forgotten about) she was extremely arrogant and obnoxious. When I told her I was unhappy with waiting over an hour, she said she has other patients. She said people are all about "me, me, me" and all she does every day is take care of people.

I have found Dr. Herman-Smith to be both very competent and thorough. She has been my Primary Care Physician now for about 7 years. I think it is very important to advocate for your own health-care, especially when seeing a new doctor. I am normally very cautious when seeing new doctors. Over the past 7 years I have developed a trust with her and feel very comfortable in both her diagnosis and presence. I would recommend her to anyone, especially those looking for a D.O.
