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.

GUTLESS COWARD
Worse Experience of my life , left me feeling humiliated, I refused injection because no one told me what was in them or even were I would be injected, or for what benefit, Dr never even came in the room to explain, he had the assistant come in and tell me they can’t except me as a patient , obviously he has Zero compassion for someone who just lost there husband and is riddled in pain head to toe….

Compassionate, Knowledgeable, and Effective
I saw Dr. Smith for a shoulder injury after my wife saw him also for a shoulder injury. He pinpointed the injury and gave me the appropriate injections. I am back playing pickleball and working around the house with virtually no pain. I am so impressed with this doctor that I am transferring my medical records and will use him exclusively for pain management.

Been to his office for my lower back pain. Helped with my pain. A few years later I was back in his office with a herniated disc in my neck(as per my MRI) I went in and he helped me relieve my pain. That was a year ago Thank you Dr Smith.

Dr. Smith is always in a hurry. He joked about getting my procedure done in under ten minutes. he answered questions if I thought of them quick enough, but he didn't offer much information to help me feel educated.
