I go to Dr. Smith solely for his hygienist. He used to be happy and upbeat but in the past few years, he is cold and brief. That's OK -- due to Georgia law, you have to be examined by the DDS, so I just acquiesce. I'm there for the phenomenal teeth cleaning by Cynthia. I just pay $$$ for Dr. Smith's 3-minute exam. The cleaning is great, though.
