The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery

"Dr. Jaclyn Smith changed my life. I have suffered with scalp psoriasis off and on for many years. The last three years were the worst. I have used many solutions, shampoos and creams prescribed by other dermatologists, but none were very effective, and my previous dermatologists didn’t offer much hope or enthusiasm. Patients with severe scalp psoriasis know the constant intense itching and the embarrassing white flakes all over our clothing. I am so grateful to Dr. Smith. She is different from all of the other dermatologists I have seen over the years. I could tell she really cared about me and was determined to help me. She comes from a family of dermatologists, so perhaps she comes by that skill naturally. She’s smart, extremely kind, caring and personable. Dr. Smith is also very knowledgeable about the latest medicines available. After trying less costly medicines, Dr. Smith prescribed Taltz injections, and I felt relief within two weeks. I have been symptom-free for the last four months and I feel like a new person. Dr. Smith is multi-talented. She also diagnosed a small skin cancer on my husband’s arm. She offered my husband the option to have a plastic surgeon remove the skin cancer, but he said he trusted Dr. Smith to do a good job. She did an awesome job. He has a tiny hairline scar on his arm that you have to search to find. My husband is a retired dentist who devoted 35 years of his life to his patients, so his standards are very high when it comes to patient care. He is most impressed by Dr. Smith for all of her talent and expertise. We live in Bonita Bay, and we have to drive past a lot of dermatology offices to get to the Woodruff Institute in downtown Naples, but we both consider the drive worth it to be patients of Dr. Jaclyn Smith. We refer her to all of our family and friends, and we plan to be life-long patients!"

"I recently changed dermatologist and Jennifer Rice at the Woodruff institute on 3rd ave in Naples came highly recommended. When i arrived i was greeted by the friendlist staff and walked into a beautiful office. I felt like i was at a spa and not a doctors office. I was seen for a full body check and i had a couple issuea i wanted d to discuss. Jennifer was fantastic she was thorough with her check she was professional, listened and was so easy to talk to. Once she completed the body check i discussed the issuea. She was compassionate, caring and listened to everything I had to say. She worked out a plan with me and she promised to follow up. To my absolute surprise she called me about 10 mins after i left the office to let me know the information she had found and had a solution for me! I was complaining blown away. Never have I experienced this with any doctor. I would highly recommend not only The Woodruff institute but Jennifer Rice. She will take your care to the next level. She is completely outstanding. Do not delay make the appointment and see Jennifer."

"Woodruff Institute is a top notch, professional dermatology practice. Every visit is on time and efficient. Dr Churton, in particular has been terrific with her diagnosis and treatments. Mohs surgeon, Dr. Lambert, is great as well. I have nothing but positive feelings and good experiences every time I need to visit whether for checkup or procedure."

"I had an appointment with one of the dermatologists at Woodruff Institute. I called to confirm and found that she was going to be on Vanderbilt Beach Rd. on a certain date - so I canceled my appointment in the Fifth Avenue area and made it for Vanderbilt Beach - My appointment was CANCELLED and a new one made on Vanderbilt on a different day - THEN I received something in the mail saying that I had not cancelled my appointment along with a phone call telling me the same - and the attitude of "shame on you for not cancelling your appointment." I made it clear to him what the process was but his attitude did not change. THEN - another appointment was following that for a month checkup - the dr. was not going to be in the day the appointment was made at my initial visit - SO - I made another appointment and the first one I THOUGHT was cancelled. THEN - I received another letter saying that if I cancelled one more time I would be charged $100.00 cancellation fee. Maybe they better have a better system so the people sending these letters and phone calls know what the front office people or people on phones are really doing. I did not make another appointment but I will because I do like my Dr. and I will now drive to 5h Avenue area as that is where she is going to be permanently now. They really grew quickly from the one office Dr.Lambert and Dr.Lambert initially starting many years ago and I have been their patient all along. But - maybe too quickly as they have many offices now - and have not been able to book with Dr. (Mrs.) Lambert for years. She was wonderful and I always knew or her education and experience that she was the very best Naples could have."

"I saw Dr. Jaclyn Smith and she's amazing. She genuinely seems to care about her patients and has the bedside manner you always hope to find in a doctor. I never felt rushed and Dr. Smith made sure to explain everything to me in detail. I was so happy with the medical stuff that I decided to see Dr. Smith for cosmetics. She did the best Botox injections I've ever had, so I came back for some laser resurfacing and hair removal and was very pleased. Dr. Smith's Medical Assistant and the Woodruff staff were very nice as well, and the office is gorgeous. It was also easy to find and park. Overall, I'm so happy I found Dr. Smith and the Woodruff Institute!"
