Dr. Smith at Children's Medical Group in Madison, Ms


We can't say enough good things about Dr. Smith and the Children's Medical Group. I don't think we could have found a better Doctor for our children. If you are pregnant or have children and are not far from Madison, Ms let me tell you reason why to choose Children's Medical Group and Dr. Smith.

First, when they say your appointment is 9:00, it actually means your appointment is 9:00. You walk into the door, check-in, and walk back to the examining room. I have heard so many friends complain about the wait when they take their kids to the doctor. I think it is unprofessional to have people to wait when they have an appointment for a certain time. Most parents take off to take their kids to the doctor and have to be back at work at a certain time. They don't have time to check in at 8:45 and and still be waiting to see the doctor at 11:00.

Second, They do have the waiting room broken down into a sick waiting room and a well waiting room. I think this is very important for children. Children are more likely to catch a illness than an adult from another sick person. If you do sit down to wait at the doctor in Madison, your worries are quickly ceased when you can wait in a well waiting room to see the doctor away from any sick patients waiting at the same time.

Third, The nurses they have working for them love your kids as much as you do. They are gentle with every test and have soothing voices that calm children from the anxiety of being at the doctors office.


Fourth and finally, The doctors are awesome. Dr. Smith who we have dealt with so far is the best doctor you could ever want for your child. He is patient with the children and with the parents. He answers any question you may have to the best of his knowledge without getting frustrated like I have seen with some doctors in the past. His gentleness in his examination of a child is far better than what I was expecting from a children's doctor. He tells you exactly what he thinks about the way you are doing things while he is asking questions in a motivating and gentle tone that gets the point across. Also we have had problems arise when we were not scheduled to see the doctor and he has seen us that day and we walked right in and saw him. Also he has called prescriptions in for us when problems have arose without even seeing us by us describing what was going on with the child. I think the best way to describe Dr. Smith is he is not only our doctor, but he is also a family friend. A big thanks to Crystal Downing for recommending him to us.

I think all of the points I described are very valid points when making a decision of who your child should see the next eighteen years of their life. Don't choose doctors for your children based on proximity of where you live, if they are in a social club with you, or you went to school with them, or etc. Choose a doctor based on good referrals of other people's experiences with that doctor. We did and it was the best decision we ever made.

Dr. Smith was my doctor when I was a child, and it's truly a blessing to have him as Molly's doctor. I trust him with her life. He's absolutely the best doctor around. Glad ya'll are as pleased with him as my family has been for the last 27 years.
