Dr. Smeester started out kind and seemingly wanting to help, but as time went on anytime I would call to make an appointment to see him I would get a call from his front office trying to cancel that appointment. The reasons I would get for him wanting to cancel my appointment would be that he was referring me back to a different doctor (who is coincidentally his wife) or that "he can just handle that in a phone call." Then when I had the phone call, he was rude and said that he didn't really know me because he hadn't seen me in a while which blew my mind since I have tried to see him in person at least two times in the last six or so months and was told both times that he didn't think it was important enough for an in person appointment. I don't know what physician, especially in addiction medicine specialist, turns away an addict when they're asking for his help because he thinks he knows what they're going to say before they even get there for their appointment. If you want to get and stay sober, Dr. Smeester is not the one to help you get and stay there.

Dr. Smeester is very caring and actually listens to the concerns of his patients. When he wasn't able to help me with a concern, he referred me to someone who was one of the best in the business. His staff is extremely nice and professional. I overall love Dr. Smeester and his practice!!

Dr. Smeester, over the years has by far been the most consistent, patient, always listening to the many difficult challenges we all go through. In my opinion, one could not have a better doctor. Most definitely 10 votes out of 5!!!

My visit with Dr. Smeester was pleasant. I do not normally leave reviews, but I feel the need to spread the word that this doctor listens to his patients. I felt that he was attentive, engaged and kind. I was initially nervous as usual during first time office visits, but his cool, calm and relaxed style put me at ease. The doctor seemed to ask all the right questions that led me to believe that he was genuinely concerned about my health and well being. Finally, Dr. Smeester was highly recommended to me by a nurse support group that I attend and after my visit concluded I understood why.
