We love dr smialek! My son recently had to go to urgent care, and he immediately asked me where Dr smialek was. He obviously loves her. She's knowledgeable and patient. I love that she focuses on healing my kids naturally first, then intervening with meds when needed.

Dr Smialek helped heal my son naturally by getting to the root cause of his issues, instead of treating just the symptom, as countless other doctors and specialist had done in the past. I am so fortunate to have found her, and to have watched my son heal through the support of natural remedies, rather than "medication." She is incredibly knowledgeable and warm, and takes the time to answer all of our questions. I never feel rushed at our appointments, and the office and exam rooms are comfortable and always noticeably clean. Would recommend her to anyone!

Just getting home from our first visit.
Dr. Smialek was incredible, she was very welcoming and in no way was in a rush. She listened to all of our concerns, was very informative. The office was inviting and extremely kid friendly, with a variety of toys. I would strongly recommend her to anyone and everyone looking to receive the best care for their child as a whole. I'm excited about transferring all of children to her office, knowing they'll not only be receiving the best care but I, as a parent will be able to be heard and have enough time to have real conversations that need to happened

Love Dr. Smialek
If you are looking for a pediatrician that treats your child as an individual rather than a chart... you want to see Dr. Smialek! She has been such a blessing to our family. Both my daughter and son see Dr. Smialek and she's always been able to treat ailments with holistic remedies and nutritional supplements. My sisters also take their kids to Dr. Smialek now and I know from their experiences that she also knows when to treat children with antibiotics.
I'm always impressed with her attention to detail!

We love Dr smialek and my baby girl loves her too. She makes us feel comfortable and she is very knowledgeable. She had us give our baby this special probiotics and she's been going consistently. She definitely knows what she's doing. We had another pediatrician before but she never helped us with anything always saying oh that's how babies are oh she has colicky. Well that pediatrician was wrong about everything. My baby never had colick. Dr. Smialek is amazing always listening and finding a solution for you imediately. I would recommend everyone I know to her. She is definitely

We love Dr. Smialek! We started taking our litttle girl to her when she was 4 weeks old and even though she moved almost an hour away from us we will continue to take her. As a first time mom I was concerned with vaccines and Kiera went over every single vaccine and helped me decide if I wanted to delay or skip any. She was also a great support both when I was breastfeeding and when I switched to formula later on. I also love that she takes a more natural approach to medicine. Our daughter has only been sick twice but both times she helped us choose vitamins and probiotics that helped strengthen

Both of our daughters have seen Dr. Smialek as patients since the day they were born. What has been most comforting about her practice is her holistic approach when treating the girls when they have been sick (which is rare for them to even be sick). From my own personal experiences as well as the experiences I hear from my girlfriends who are moms, most conventional doctors do not offer natural immune support options when treating children. I love that Dr. Smialek provides options and educates her patients on supplements such as probiotics, vitamin d, zinc (and the list goes on) to not only help
