I was referred by my GP to Dr. Linda Smith at Nakatsui DermaSurgery 2 years ago for my ongoing acne problems. I have had this issue for the last 15 years and found that she was the only doctor who genuinely listened to my concerns & was open to trying other options I have never used before. She also has an excellent bedside manner - almost like chatting with a friend! She never rushes you with your appointments and allows plenty of time for questions. As I have now completed my treatment I no longer have to see her, but wish she could be my full time GP! I highly recommend her and the staff at Groot Derma Surgery - they are the best at what they do!

Linda is one of the best doctors I have ever used. She is friendly, knowledgeable and interested in her patients. I would recommend here to anyone.

Absolutely WONDERFUL. Lateness reflects teaching of medical students and residents – which you’d likely get at any teaching hospital. Thoughtful and empathetic. Even if I’m having paranoid thoughts, she will order tests to ease my mind. I would want my entire family to see her!

Hi folks — Dr. Smith here. I just thought I’d take a space to thank all those who have given input here. I should let you know that I’ve recently been hired as an Assistant Professor which means I am taking on more responsibilities within the Department of Family Medicine, including changing the structure of the education of our residents. The Chair of my Department has restricted me to 4 half-days a week, which is quite a bit less than what you’re used to. The sad consequence of this is that what used to be “she’s kind of tough to get in to see” will become much worse. I apologize — I wish I could do it all (fix residency so that the doctors we produce are the best ever, teach residents and students, see patients, answer phone calls, complete the many faxed requests every day, etc.) Please do not ask me to take on new patients or to fill prescriptions by fax. Both of these decrease my ability to see you — I so enjoy my interactions with you all. Best wishes, Lindy Smith
