Dr. Rodriguez and her staff were helpful and courteous during every step of the process. They were very reassuring to my child and walked me through all the possibilities and answered all my questions. We were steered in the right direction every step of the way.

Very friendly. I asked the nurse to show her face so my daughter can feel more comfortable. And she was very helpful. The doctor we seen was fast and amazing. Gave me information i didn't know. Highly recommended. Please do research before scheduling. I schedule 4 appointments at different locations and on the phone everyone seemed mad but not here the gentlemen was super nice and helpful told me what i needed before showing up for appointment. I was in and out of the office. Office was very clean.

I was a bit concerned when I first arrived, because they didn't receive my referral. They were able to see my son and obtained the referral later. Stephanie Mensch was kind and knowledgeable. She ordered several test for my son.

Phone: The male (can’t remember his name) answering and making appointments was cordial and very helpful.
Office: Office was clean and we were seen within 5 minutes of checking in. It’s helping to pre-fill out your forms online for first time patients.
Doc: Dr Rodriguez was awesome! She was patient, I didn’t feel rushed at all and answered all my questions and allayed my concerns.

Dr. C. Smith has been Great with our son who has had on going G.I. issues for several years. He takes the time to talk to all of us and explain what he is thinking, considering and the next plan.
Our son had to have 2 procedures and Dr. Smith could not have a nerve racking experience any easier!
We are thankful for his expertise and genuine kindness!
Our family highly recommends Dr. Christopher Smith Pediatric G.I.!!
