It was terrible.....as I tried to ask questions and add things I felt important to the conversation, he just loomed over me looking totally disgusted and annoyed that I dare even open my mouth and speak. I got NO satisfaction, NO diagnosis, and I would not recommend that anyone see this guy. His personality and likeability are in definite need of improvement. At one point I thought maybe it was just me, or he was having a bad day, etc. But now I see all these other 1 star reviews and now I'm sure it's just how awful of a doc... read more

I was looking forward to my visit because I was hopeful the Dr. would have a solution to my pain. I trusted my general physician’s recommendation to go to Ohio Head and Neck and did not read reviews beforehand. I am used to the professional drs I currently see. They explain things. They ask questions. They listen. I was completely baffled by my experience with this man. I left the appointment feeling belittled and dismissed. Dr. Smith treated me with little respect. He made it clear that I was blaming things on my nose and s... read more

He handed me a tmj printout, telling me “this wasn’t him” but the printout did call out ENT’s to resolve problem. He didn’t listen & wouldn’t allow questions. Maybe I do have tmj, like many people but that isn’t total problem. What a waste of time & money. I was quickly “discounted” and exited without any help. Square one again as the pain continues.

The good: the office staff and assistants were super kind. Even the lady who called me after my visit was super kind. Dr. Smith, however, was not so kind, compassionate or any of the qualities you look for in a doctor when you are trying to fix a problem. He looked at my “beautiful” ears and discarded my concerns. Even if he couldn’t help me, there is a kind way to address my concerns as opposed to treating me the way he did. I left in tears and will never go back in that building.

Horrible visit. 1 star bec! I asked if Dr. Smith treated a specific disease. I was assured three times by 2 different nurses he did. He was rude, informing me he did not treat my problem then had no advice. He was rushed and kept telling me to stop talking each time I attempted to say why I was there (my medical problems were explained in the referral. If he did not treat it, why did he accept me as a patient). He seems more interested in # of patients he can see per hour (x each copayment) instead of actually helping the pa... read more

Disappointed in Dr. Smith's treatment of my elderly father today. I understand COVID concerns, but please behave like you are essential and know people count on you even in tough times. Elderly deserve good care also and not be dismissed.

My wife had an appointment with Dr. Smith. She has been on four cycles of antibiotics and has been coughing not stop for four months. After being referred, he said there was nothing wrong-no allergies and no infection. When she asked why she continued coughing he dismissed her and said, 'it's just like that sometimes.'. WOW! After reading reviews, I wish we would have made a better choice. Cleveland clinic, here we come.
