If you want an amazing Doctor who truly cares about his patients then look no further. He really listens to you, you feel heard and respected and cared about. He’s willing to try things and works with you till you’re doing much better!! He’s married to another amazing Dr Susan Gutierrez who I was seeing she is also amazing I love her and everything about this practice. When your in horrible pain and need a Dr who wants to help you can stop looking because you won’t ever find Doctors that truly care for the body and mind like Dr Smeester he is the very best!! I feel so blessed to have him as my Dr. Summer runs the office and she is a doll so sweet, kind, and helpful. That’s what these drs are about the patients your not just a number here they truly care

Your life is swirling and going down that deep, dark rabbit hole. You know you need help, but not sure you really want it. Not sure you’re going to survive; not sure you want to….but, you just don’t want to go down that dark hole again. Maybe you’ve tried other methods, and they haven’t been a good fit. Maybe you’re just afraid.
Dr. Smeester’s program has worked wonders for me. It has truly saved my life. In this program, you will receive acceptance for who you are, as you are. You will learn that this is a disease with a strong genetic component; that it has no respect for who it afflicts; that it can be conquered. You will learn skills to cope with this awful disease. You will find people, not just staff, but others who have been through the program, very supportive and knowledgeable. This program may not be the end all, be all for everyone, and that’s OK. However, it may be just one more arrow in your quiver to fight this terrible disease. I would not have survived had it not been for Dr. Smeester and his wonderful staff.
Coming out of detox or just trying to get this monkey off your back, I highly recommend Dr. Smeester and Diablo Valley Drug and Alcohol Services. It has worked wonders for me.
