Just asking us how we're doing was fine!

You could have washed your hands in front of me so I can see that they were clean.

The wait was the problem for me. I waited an hour before I was called to see the provider. Everyone came in there before me and everyone was seen before me. If my appointment was at 9:30 and other people came in after me to see him I asked the young lady who called me to the back. I told her I was about to leave. It was a whole hour who her statement to me was he was very busy, but I was there before them I guess be a new patient coming back there I guess I had to be last other than that my visit went fine .

I don't have any complaints! Everyone was courteous and respectful of my dignity and personal space! I would highly recommend this office to my family and friends.... I have been a patient of Sumter OB-GYN for 44 years and never had a problem... Thank you Dr Triz Smith for your professionalism.

No improvement needed. Very satisfied with my gynecologist Dr. T. Smith. Awesome bedside manner. Also approaches you with a smile. Seems to care about you personally and constantly asking you if have any questions do you need anything.

One thing I believe that the doctor need to make sure that he looks back in a patient history before making a decision to take someone off of blood thinner when not aware of the episodes of blood clots that have occurred with the patient. The other thing is I found that there's not true statement in the medical summary that he completed. Some things that he claimed he addressed, we did not discuss. And the claim that my hematologist said I needed to be off the blood thinner for three days was incorrect. His anesthesiologist and his brother-in-law were saying three days. My hematologist said two days, and I disagreed. I thought I needed a bridge, which was a lower notch.

Yes, I only, if they had told me I could have come back, it would have helped me a lot because the day after the exam, I got into big trouble. Called up there, couldn't get any help, but I sure need it. I needed aftercare because I don't know which way to go. Thanks.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/10/2025
Everything was perfect. No complaints or concerns on anything.

I can't think of a thing that could have improved my visit. I had not had a gyn visit in many years and was nervous about this visit. Dr. Smith and his staff were all supportive and made me more relaxed. My treatment options were explained and I was asked several times if I had any questions. Delicate questions were answered in a way that didn't make me feel foolish for asking them.

Overall excellent experience and services provided.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/27/2025

Communication between the nurses that accompany the Dr in the examination room and the Nurse that calls the patient after visit as non existent. I am still waiting for medication the Dr advised me to switch to yet it' still hasn't been called into my pharmacy a week later nor-was it in the after visit summary report. The nurse that called me today with test results had no idea what I was referring to when asked about the status of my prescription. The Dr. is great and I have full confidence in his ability however, if he doesn't have good support staff... it reflects on the overall care.

At the time of my appt. I didn't really know what additional questions to ask. Now, after speaking with my family and others there may be many. I am told all my questions will be answered at my pre-op appointment.

None, everything was good

At the end, I waited to be dismissed. After a few Minutes, I opened the door and asked if I could leave, the nurse was in the hall on her cell phone and stated I could. It was the same nurse that assisted the doctor.

Nothing, perfect care. Dr. Smith is a great doctor and all the nurses were great too!

Most understanding and more personality. Doesn't listen to anything goes off based on how you're feeling that day but not long term.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/21/2025
I thought Dr. Triz had poor bedside manner. When I asked about doing laparoscopic surgery he said, "we can do that by all means because that's what puts food on my kids' table." I found this quite rude. I will be doing the surgery, but not with Dr. Triz or to put food on his kids' table. I'm sure he will do just fine either way, but I will continue to go through my condition until I find a doctor who does share concern for my health. Dr. Triz's demeanor did not put forth that he was here to help me and I hope in the future he does better.

Nothing! Everyone from check in, lab, nurse & doctor were great!

I just don't know what's wrong with me, and the doctor couldn't find anything. I feel more tests could have been run. With me being weak, almost about to pass out, bleeding for the past seven months, needing a hysterectomy, I really need to know why I'm so weak. And the hysterectomy is, I'm scared to put more out.

It would have been nice if I was talked to about different types of IUD, instead I was asked if I had any questions. I was not sure what to ask as I'm not familiar with IUDs

The bathroom that is used to provide urine samples in is always extremely dirty, there is urine all over the toilet, floor, and stand for cups and wipes. Really throws me off with how dirty it is every time I have to use it
