    Dr. Smallwood is phenomenal. She is caring, knowledgeable, and took the time to listen and attend to my concerns.

    The doctor interrupted me before I could finish explaining my symptoms and let me know that she would not be doing a blood test to check my hormone levels (which I didn't even ask for), as it would be pointless and completely dismissed my concerns of ovarian cysts, even though I have a history of them. She then mentioned that over 8 years ago I came to UK Student Health for a standard STI/STD screening and very strongly suggested that perhaps I had been sexually promiscuous and that she should test me again, even though she noted my marital status, as well. After I told her I hoped I would get some answers, she let me know that if my follow-up ultrasound showed nothing, that I would have to just accept that result. I do not feel as though I was listened to or taken seriously at all.

    Dr. Smallwood was kind, caring and informative. She listed well to my concerns, and asked good feedback questions. Some of the answers to my questions were maybe not what I was hoping for, but she explained them in a way that was not dismissive and I appreciated that. I did not feel pressured to make any decisions about treatment options and she was supportive of me wanting to take time to think it all over.

      This was my first time seeing Dr. Smallwood. She was great, and I was hoping to see her again for my next pre-natal visit. Unfortunately, her schedule was too full.

      The doctors at the clinic are all incredible. Even though Dr. Grant is my actual doctor, all that I have seen there and at the hospital in Dr. Grants absence have been fantastic. They all genuinely care and are kind.
