Don't know where to start with Dr. Sumathi Smith. I visited her office for the first time every on Wednesday. I'm a healthy 50 year old female, never been in a hospital until they admitted me on Friday because of my blood levels being low. After being released from the hospital on Sunday, I myself, made an appointment with Dr. Smith that Wednesday. Her staff opened me with a warm embrace. Dr. Smith started looking at my chart, looking me in my face, stating, I know it's hard for you to understand, but ill get down to your problem. Thanks Dr. Smith
