Larry Ray Smith

Absolutely wonderful physician. Took the time to explain everything fully, including tests ordered, medications, and my diagnosis. I wish I had found Dr. Smith years ago!

Great doctor hands down! He also gets straight to the point just amazing with kids.

My daughter and I had a terrible visit with Dr. Larry Smith at Allergy Partners in Athens. His communication skills were lacking, which led to a contentious misunderstanding. He took some information, told us they would perform a test, and left the room. My daughter and I had no idea what the test was - what it entailed or what its purpose was. The nurse came in, ready to administer the test, and I kindly requested details - would there be needles? Were there any risks we should consider? The nurse was bothered by my questions, and laughed at us. Moments later, the doctor opened the door and told us there was nothing he could do for us. I calmly explained what our intentions were in coming - I had some Q's about allergies regarding my daughter, and hoped to be educated about the nature of allergies. He became visibly frustrated, and asserted that there was nothing he could do for us if we didn't take the test. He told us to wait, because he had other things to take care of. We left.

I wasn’t a fan of the way Dr. Smith handled my concerns and he didn’t really listen to anything I was saying. I asked about a blood test to one of the nurses and she said they did them, but when I asked him he shut me down immediately and said they didn’t do them and that it wasn’t what I needed. He acted like I don’t know what I was talking about, maybe because I’m only 21 so he thought I was naive. I won’t be seeing him again and I wouldn’t recommend him to anyone.

The lady at the front desk is not very considerate & does not communicate well, but Dr. Smith is well worth having to deal with her. The rest of the staff is great. The office itself could use an upgrade. Dr. Smith is knowledgeable, experienced, kind, considerate, & has more of a holistic approach than other doctors. He gets that the environment plays a big role in the allergic response & he will not only prescribe meds, but recommend other options, such as air purification or Vit. B treatmen
