Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great to meet you
Ah, my first EMG! Not too shocking ...I wasn't expecting much, but surprising amount of information was obtained. My compliment to Dr Smith. He was well practice and provided appropriate warnings throughout the procedure and a quick summary and interpetation of the findings. Clearly presented and understood

I keep going back to Dr Smith for my back
Dr Matthew Smith is a precise, caring surgeon. As a patient, I find him easy to work with. He has also surrounded himself with a super staff - they are all very competent and friendly. Like Dr Smith they all care about their patients and how they do their job.

Dr Smith is the only Dr I have found that can pin point where my pain is and make it disappear. Unfortunately it doesn’t go away forever but I come back for him to work his magic again. I love that they give you a prescription to take something that will help you stay calm because it is in fact an uncomfortable procedure. I’m so grateful for him and his wonderful staff.

Dr. Smith and his team are simply incredible.
I have been dealing with severe back pain. I had the spinal ablation and the initial ablation lasted approximately 5 months. This was my second ablation. I honestly can’t thank them enough for helping me.
