Disappointed I could not make my appointment for next year. Computer was not excepting appoints for a year out. This needs to be fixed.
Doctor was knowledgeable, patient and polite. Excellent experience with a new doctor and his staff.
I was left waiting in the exam room for 10-15 minutes for Dr. Smadi to arrive. He didn't seem to remember my worries about long COVID affecting how I breathe, and seemed to dismiss my concerns about POTS without really listening. He is the second physician I've seen at St. Luke's who seems either uninformed or unprepared to take the long term effect of multiple COVID-19 infections into consideration. When the very quick visit was over he left me without necessarily making clear things were all done, and I was uncertain if I was to wait in the room or to go up to the desk myself. Despite any of my raised concerns, he doesn't want to see me again for another year. Hopefully by then I'll have found someone who at least acknowledges this patient's worries and concerns.
I was glad that he helped me with my concerns.
Good experience all the way around. Thank you
It was very disappointing to have to wait for the Dr. to see me for over 1/2 hour after the assistant took my bp. My husband and I both were getting agitated waiting so long. I know he's a busy man but he didn't even apologize for being so late.
Dr Smadi spent a lot of time with me, listened patiently, and answered all of my questions. Also, the nurse listened to my concerns with compassion.
Dr. Smadi is a first-class pulmonologist and has a fine patient-doctor manner. He is a clear communicator and empathetic. I'm grateful that he is my pulmonologist.
I was treated with a warm welcome check in was easy and fast. I felt very comfortable talking to Dr Smadi. Felt very relaxed . A very good experience! Thank you.
Extremely pleasant provider and staff.
