In patients' words

"My experience at Smart Brain was fantastic. I went in scared and tired of dealing with my condition. I left happier than I've ever been. Thanks to the staff! They were so caring and considerate to my needs."

Patient testimonial for Smart Brain and Health

"Zero flexibility and super rude front-office team. Charged $150 for trying to move a Monday appointment (on Friday). Tried since Friday to move an appointment with zero service / ever-changing contact numbers, making it impossible to get hold of a human being via the platform."
