during my visit, there was a patient in another room that seemed to be having a medical emergency. I was extremely impressed with the responsiveness of the staff and Dr. Smith and handling that specific situation and making sure that patient was taken care of immediately And got the urgent care that they needed. And still kept his composure and Given the circumstances did not have a Much of a delay in the Exam room. Just very impressed with how he and the staff handled such a stressful situation and made sure that everybody was OK

From the staff… To the amazing Dr. Smith… We cannot say anything but positive and amazing healthcare. We have recommended Dr. Smith to several friends and they have come to him also and have nothing but extraordinary comments to make that are positive. Having a Dr of this caliber in the BJC is just another win-win. Thank you for all you do.

Dr James L Smith is the best doctor I have ever seen. He is truly caring, kind and compassionate. He spends time with me, listening, goes over my health results and I have never felt rushed. Professional and polite. I lost my healthy, fit 45 yr old son in 2024 due to cardiac arrest so we (family) were advised to see a cardiologist and I found the BEST there is!!
