Dr. Smith recently performed a balloon sinuplasty procedure on me and it has definitely changed my life. I’m looking forward to feeling the benefits and continue to heal. As of now I’m able to breathe 10 X better!!! I was skeptical and hoping the outcome would be beneficial and it definitely has been so far. Thank you so much!!
My father came to Dr. Gillespie for an issue with his ear. While at the appointment, Dr. Gillespie discovered an area near his ear that was skin cancer. He took care of my father and we will be forever grateful for his attention to detail.
After suffering from what presented as allergies for months, Dr. Smith properly diagnosed me with LPR which even my Gastroenterologist failed to do. I now have a correct diagnosis and can take the proper steps to gain the relief I have been seeking. Thank you, Dr. Smith!
Dr Lukacs is incredible. He was so kind and thorough with our daughter and her ear infections. I HIGHLY recommend this practice. Office was clean and the rest of the staff was so kind!
Dr Lukacs was very straight up and honest when it came to my husbands health issues. He spoke to both of us and pretty much explained the procedures my husband would be going through in his upcoming surgery. This dr was our "second" opinion and I must say that we are very happy we decided on getting a second opinion.
Dr. Gillespie is a 'fun' kind of doctor with the children. He puts the kids at ease when examining them, joking around & playing with them. He's intent to make sure your needs are met so you better fast.
After sinus sugery my worst pain was headace. Dr. Smith was gentle and very caring through each visit before and after surgery. I got calls every few days after sugery to ensure I was doing ok. He also did not look over any of my breathing and sinus issues. I wish I knew of him years ago...it would have saved me a lot of suffering!
I had sinus surgery with Dr. Smith and he did an amazing job. I am finally able to breathe out of my nose after years of struggling. He was very thorough and always took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. He and his staff were so kind and put my mind at ease during this process. I highly recommend!
