I appreciate the care that I receive. Prior to seeing Dr Smith for exams following an arterial bypass I'm receive an ultrasound exam and/or extremity blood pressure checks. The care and treatment by the technician, nurses and doctor has always been excellent. The front desk, scheduling appointments, check in and out staff are pleasant, professional and oh so helpful. I feel blessed that when in 2023 I was faced with the necessity of the bypass surgery Dr Taylor Smith was available. I knew on the day of the surgery that the Lord was there with Dr Smith in the OR.

He had definitely reviewed the case before the visit. Knew exactly how he wanted to handle it. Very easy to speak to and very easy to understand what he was saying in regards to the problems. There were no communication barriers that he couldn't understand. Best Doctor we have had an appointment with.
