After a traumatic birth experience with my first baby (by another practice/physician), Dr. Smith made me feel so comfortable for my cesarean birth for baby #2. She listened to my concerns, encouraged me, and made the whole birth experience as comfortable as a cesarean birth can be. I am grateful for her compassion and for bringing my son into the world safely!

Gynecological Exams

I am always pleasantly greeted by front house staff to leaving and getting my next appointment. Kim who gets me situated really is the sweetest and helps me relax. (I drive from North Wilmington so the traffic makes me feel rushed) but when I walk in the door everyone cares and it shows. I have always had excellent care when calling for nurse with a question/situation too.

I’ve been seeing Dr.Smith and the office of women living well for my first and second child.Dr.Smith is a expert in her field. She strives for excellence in her work which is why shes worth every penny. Even though shes very busy, she makes you feel like you’re the only appointment. She has great bedside manner and I refer anyone who’s looking for a obstetrician to her office.

Office Visit / Follow-up

Dr. Smith took her time to do a thorough examination and provide helpful advice. She takes time to listen and provides individual attention.

OB Care

Dr. Smith is a low-key [savage], so highly satisfied is an understatement. She delivered our baby safely and my entire pregnancy she kept telling me that this delivery would be totally different than my last one which was really painful and had long lasting barriers to resuming my overall way of life. For the record, I did believe her- I was just nervous. But that Queen delivered- even though the hospital was packed she made sure I got everything we had talked about and my recovery has been absolutely 180 degrees different than the last time. She also supplied nerdy factoids at appointments and I’m a big fan of that.
