Patient Comments
Highly recommend!
Always listens and incorporates that information into any discussion and plan. Gets into position to directly face me during conversation. Efficient use of time but I always feel like I have whatever time is needed.
Wonderful doctor. I drive from [...] , de to see him because he is thorough, caring and friendly. As long as I am able, I will continue to see Dr. Smietana.
The Dr. Pt. Relationship has been excellent. He works hard to explain things so I can understand.
Yes I would recommend others
