Letter to the Editor; Doctor Smith

Dr. Terry Smith is my doctor and has been since I moved here in 2003. He was there for me during a tragedy that almost broke me. He took the time out as a doctor to give me the tools to get through my grief. He did this without having me on drugs. Through the years he has never let me down as a doctor. When I tried to see him, the last two months that he was here, it was impossible to get an appointment. I got a hold of his nurse Shauna and she made sure that I saw him. I had really high blood pressure and I needed it to come down. I was seen the next day. He said that there was no excuse for me not being seen. It took three weeks. Doctor Smith and his nurse Shauna are a great team and they will be missed here.
