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.

Dr Smigelski had no real interest in anything other than billing. His exam was the bare minimum, and he completely misdiagnosed my issue because of it. Due to that I suffered through 5 months of needless pain. I am very displeased! His patients deserve far better. I will NEVER go back to him for any reason. I would certainly never recommend him even to my worst enemy.

My PCP recommended Dr. Smigielski to me and I was hesitant as I only saw 2 reviews and the ratings were low. I am very pleased with my own experience. I found him to be professional, pleasant and highly knowledgeable. I felt completely at ease with his staff as well as with him. He helped me a year ago with an extremely painful shoulder and again yesterday with hip pain. I would highly recommend this practice.

I did not feel that I was valued at the initial visit. Was sent for further test. Test results, I was told, would be sent to doctor that afternoon and the office would contact me. Waited a week and then called. After a month went in to office, waited more than an hour and finally saw doctor. Totally unsatisfactory experience. Will not be returning.

Dr Smigielski spent 4 minutes with me, did not examine me, offered no treatment advice , and left the room without a word. Then he billed my insurance.

My mother in law fell on July 31,2016. Unfortunately Dr. smigielski performed surgery on her the next day. She had a plate and screws placed in her hip. Three months later at her appointment, there was a "hardware failure" and she needed a hip replacement. Unfortunately Dr Smigielski also performed this surgery on December 6, 2016. She fell again on December 26, and was sent to Nashville. He had botched the surgery. DO NOT Allow this "Dr" to perform surgery on you or a loved one!!!
