Patient Comments
Dr. Smietano is the best. Thourough, compassionate, knowledgeable, patient and took his time in answering all my questions.
I can't say enough about the confidence I have in Dr. Smietana. I travel from […], DE to see him because I know there are no doctors in Delaware who can compare to him. He is a very caring professional who wants me to be the healthiest I can possibly be. He never rushes through appointments and I always come away with all my questions answered and know my path forward. He is the absolute best.
Dr S. Is very good at what he does. Always makes me feel comfortable and always tries to help. I have many chronic issues that.over lap. He doesn't gaslight you. Like many doctors do.
Dr Smietana really listens and adjusts treatment plan accordingly. Clearly explains. Gently encouraging.
Dr. Smietana was excellent in his knowledge and discussions on my AFib heart condition.
