I too had an unpleasant visit with Dr. Smirnoff.
I went for my first appointment. I was no more than 5 minutes late and was told they had a policy of not seeing patients who were 5 minutes or more late for their appointments and I would have to reschedule with an appt. 2 months later. I told them how I felt about that and walked out.

Several days later they called they had an open spot two days later. Sound familiar cquick?
I kept the appt. and spent no more than 5 minutes with him - I had all xrays up to that time. Any way, he said he couldn't help me and referred me to Shands. I went to Shands and was told that because of my age, I would not be able to have the surgery I required. I am certain Dr. S knew and could have told me the same thing.
Pompous, unprofessional - just to name a few.
