What families look for first.
Who this may be right for.
Ask first if
- When a physician leaves the clinic, their patients may be released without proactive reassignment or notification to remaining doctors
- Long wait times at appointments are frequently reported, sometimes exceeding 30–60 minutes past scheduled time
- A $60 no-show fee is charged, and payment is required before rebooking, even when booking errors are made by reception
A calmer first step.

Questions families actually ask.
What happens to patients if their family doctor leaves the clinic? +
Multiple reviewers report that when a physician departs Smyth Associate Clinic, their patients are released from the clinic rather than being redistributed to remaining doctors. Patients have noted receiving little to no advance notice of this change.
Are there long wait times at appointments? +
Several reviewers report waiting 30 to 60 minutes or more past their scheduled appointment time. This appears to be a recurring issue rather than an isolated occurrence.
Is the receptionist experience consistent? +
Reviews are mixed on reception staff, with a notable number of reviewers describing rude or unhelpful phone interactions, while a smaller number report no issues. Experiences appear to vary depending on the individual staff member encountered.
Are specific doctors at the clinic well-regarded? +
Dr. David Smyth and Dr. Fisher receive consistently positive mentions across multiple reviews, with patients citing long-term relationships spanning 20+ years and strong diagnostic and communication skills. Experiences with other physicians are more mixed.
Is the clinic currently accepting new patients? +
Reviews suggest availability varies by provider. One reviewer noted that a nurse practitioner listed on the government website as accepting new patients had specific intake criteria. Families are advised to call the clinic directly to confirm current availability.
What is the clinic's no-show fee policy? +
According to reviewer accounts, the clinic charges a $60 fee for missed appointments, and this fee must be paid before any new appointment can be booked. At least one reviewer reported being charged after a scheduling error made by clinic staff.
