PA Don Smith has been absolutely fantastic, genuinely. He really takes time to listen, then carefully and fully explains things from his ample experience. That sounds like it's a lot easier than it is. I'm an expert in Show moremy field, like Don, and it takes extreme levels of discipline to give someone still learning, the room and time to explain things without jumping in early to solve the problem and move in. Absolutely recommend Northwoods Family Medicine

Don is extremely through and maintains an excellent patient to provider confidentiality. He has helped me navigate many personal health issues, and works with me in a very caring, and realistic nature to solve problems. I consider him a great advocate for my health, and he is my real first line of defense when dealing with issues. Truly an "in your corner" GP.
