Sep 27, 2021

Dr. Smith and his nurse Gina, have always been available, professional, and thorough. Robert at the front has also been very considerate, helpful, and efficient. The other staff at the front desk often don't greet me, look me in the eye, or are often not very pleasant. I realize COVID has stressed out medical staff, but it was like this before COVID. They also do not speak clearly and speak too fast to understand what they are saying. I like to know who I'm talking to, and when I ask their name they seem to react Impatiently. This Is very frustrating when you don't feel well and speak to someone that has an attitude when answering the phone.I would recommend your practice based on my opinion of Dr. Smith and his nurse Gina.

★★★★★

Sep 27, 2021

Dr. Smith has been my PCP for 15 years. He is always on time, and I have rarely had to wait in the exam room for more than 5 minutes. He has always been pleasant, listens to me, and is ready with a suggestion or procedure to help. He has always been available for any urgent care help after hours unless he's out of town, and then there is always a doctor available to help in his place.

★★★★★

Sep 27, 2021

It's often difficult to get through on the phone, so I've found that sometimes it's easier to just drive over to the office in order to speak to staff or drop off paperwork.

★★★★★

Sep 26, 2021

Was greeted by a receptionist wearing no maskAltho sign on door says to wear one. Was Told to sit. I waited 30 min as nurse wasn't informed I was there. Even Dr Smith looked for me as I'm a long time patient.

I like my doctor but really take issue with the reception staff. I mention this in every survey but it never gets better. It is for this reason that I would hesitate to recommend. These folks need to realize that they are the face of the practice and need to provide good customer service. No one really likes to go to the doctor but a friendly greeting can go a long way toward making it better

★★★★★

Jul 16, 2021

No one smiles or engages patients. They all seem unhappy

★★★★★

Jul 16, 2021

Dr. Smith is extremely competent and an outstanding listener. I've never had the "white coat" syndrome when seeing him!

★★★★★

Jul 15, 2021

Great.

It was a positive experience!

★★★★★

Jul 9, 2021

Been with Dr Smith for many years and think he is the best.

★★★★★

Jul 3, 2021

The medical assistant was great, she didn't rush to get my vitals and review medications! We need more medical assistants like her! She exceeded my expectations when it came to patient care!

★★★★★

Jul 3, 2021

The only thing I can say is the receptionist area should smile a little more and not be on their phone when patients walk in! They should also make an attempt to look at patients and not just their screen!

★★★★★

Jul 3, 2021

The times I have been here to doctor smith's office I've been nothing but pleased! He is very thorough, kind, and caring for his patients! Something not many providers can say they do!

★★★★★

Stop pushing an experimental gene therapy. When the jab is proven and approved in 2023 and I can read the now blank inserts, we can talk about it.

I was recommended to Dr. Paul Smith by my Ophthalmologist Dr. Fernando Trujillo. I'm glad he did.

Dr. Paul Smith was excellent! My husband and I were looking for a new doctor after moving from Kilgore, Tx to San Antonio and we found an excellent doctor in Dr. Smith. He was the answer to our establishing a new physician's in San Antonio.

★★★★★

Apr 28, 2021

amazing staff and office!

Apr 28, 2021

Dr. Smith is a perfect doctor for me!

New to this office ... extremely nice

★★★★★

Apr 27, 2021

Dr. Smith always listens. He is attentive and professional.

★★★★★

Apr 27, 2021

No hello, good morning, or any personable exchange. I was standing at one window (both were without staff). When staff member approached her chair, she said, "I'm at this window" in a curt manner. I told her my info and that I had checked in online. Very strange interaction and seemed unprofessional. Also, she had face masks hanging by her, but she was not wearing a mask. This made me uncomfortable. if she is unable or refuses to wear a mask, the front check in window seems the wrong assignment for her.

★★★★★

Apr 25, 2021

have done so on several occasions.

★★★★★

Apr 25, 2021

always a good experience!

★★★★★

Apr 25, 2021

Apr 24, 2021

Good visit.

★★★★★

Apr 24, 2021

I didn't have to wait very long to be called in. The Nurse was friendly. Dr. Smith is very easy to talk to and explains everything while going over my charts. Feel lucky that my husband and I have him as our Doctor.

★★★★★

Apr 24, 2021

waiting room was more than 100% full. people were standing or sitting on the floor.

★★★★★

Apr 22, 2021

See previous questions and answers

★★★★★

Apr 22, 2021

I assume the online check and appointment confirmation speeds up/cuts down the wait time. I showed up 15 minutes early checked in at the front desk and almost immediately was met by a nurse or technician and the process started. No wait time and the nurse or technician was almost immediate to start updating my records in the exam room and preparing me to see Dr. Smith. Wow! great service.

★★★★★

Apr 16, 2021

Again, I highly recommend Dr. Paul Smith. This survey and the patient portal are perfect examples of how little I feel valued as a patient. The human interaction is missing. it's more like a horse race from the time I walk in the door until I finally get to see Dr. Smith. I believe it was Zig Ziegler who said, "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care".

★★★★★

Apr 16, 2021

I love Dr. Smith! I have several health issues and he seems to be my compass in advising and guiding me through the maze of possible solutions. I totally trust him.

★★★★★

Apr 16, 2021

I didn't observe any of those things, but that isn't as important to me as much as how friendly the staff is.

★★★★★

Apr 16, 2021

She was very nice. I know Gina is out on medical leave, but Irma was only there for a short time. I really liked them both. Personally, I feel like the staff has so many demands put in them to perform, the personal factor has gone out the window! Dr. Smith seems to be the only person who takes his time and is interested in me.

★★★★★

Apr 16, 2021

The staff in the registration area seem to be impersonal - just doing their job, but with no warmth.

★★★★★

Apr 16, 2021

I have already recommended Dr Jones to several people.

★★★★★

Apr 16, 2021

no smiling in this registration area- a little more friendliness would really help!

★★★★★

Apr 10, 2021

no delays

★★★★★

Apr 10, 2021

Dr Paul Smith is excellent at explaining & allowing me to make the decision of what treatment option I want to pursue

★★★★★

Apr 10, 2021

This was my first visit and I had to wait almost two months to get an appointment When I finally got to the office it was a delightful experience.

always a great visit

★★★★★

Apr 2, 2021

Dr. Smith is easy to talk to, doesn't "talk down", and is engaging. Options for treatments were presented clearly. Very caring and professional.

Irma was wonderful in helping me deal with the technology involved for this Virtual Appointment.

Did not have to wait long in common waiting area; nearly one hour wait to see doctor.

★★★★★

Feb 11, 2021

Wait time was WAY too long!

★★★★★

Feb 7, 2021

Dr. Smith has always been great, which is why I keep coming back to him.

★★★★★

Feb 7, 2021

Other than the wait, everything was great.

★★★★★

Feb 7, 2021

Dr. Smith isn't taking new patients so I don't recommend him. I would if he did. Since I'm not familiar with the other doctors in the office, I can't recommend them.

★★★★★

Feb 6, 2021

very fluid from entry to exit
