    Dr Smith listened to my concerns about medications I am taking. He talked about the benefits and downsides of various medicines. Related studies on the effects of these meds and gave me choices on alternates and options to reduce meds. He is very driven on using results of current studies and indicated where he thinks further results will be realized.
