    We have waited for so long to be able to come to developmental peds, and yesterday showed how worth it it was. Dr. Smith was a breath of fresh air, she saw things in my child that other doctors have missed. She didn't make me feel like I had mom goggles on, she listened to not only me, but my daughter as well, can't recommend her highly enough
