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.

Excellent Surgeon
Dr. Smith always takes his time with each patient. He not only answers your question, making sure you understand what he is saying, he also listens to and addresses any concerns you may have. He also has a great bedside manner and sense of humor. One of the best doctor patient interactions I've ever had. I'm very pleased with the surgery he preformed to fix my aching neck and back pain. I would very highly recommend Dr. Kyle Smith to anyone in need of his expertise in Nuerosurgery. He and his entire team at Semmes Murphey are very friendly and very good at what they do as well. Thanks Dr Smith, Alie and staff for all you do.

Very Pleased
Dr. Smith listened patiently and answered all questions during my initial appointment. I knew exactly what to expect during the surgery and the outcome he would expect. I never felt rushed. After surgery I noticed an immediate reduction in pain which has even gotten better over time. I would recommend Dr. Smith to anyone considering surgery.

Miracle surgery
Once I got my first visit scheduled , everything went much better than I expected. Dr. Smith explained everything in a clear and professional manner that was very easy to understand. Dr. Smith gave me options and we both agreed on surgery. The surgery went very well without any pain and the results were instant relief. Prior to surgery I was in constant excruciating leg pain . After surgery I have been pain free and both the hospital and clinic called me at home to check on me. I would recommend Seems Murphy and Dr. Smith to anyone with back or nerve pain. Thank you Dr. Smith and staff.

Relatable & Understanding
I presented in extreme pain with a unique personal situation and Dr. Smith took time to explain everything completely, provide options with time tables and treatment plans, and a personal recommendation. Most doctors would not take personal responsibility for getting a patient out of pain quickly, but Dr. Smith helped me push a test through my insurance quickly with an immediate turnaround. Great staff, but Dr.Smith is amazing to work with. I will use him for any other needs in the future.

Great doctor
I am 28 and received a minimal invasive surgery from Dr. Smith yesterday on L5S1 in my lower back. The pain had been debilitating for about 2 months. As of this morning I am sore from the surgery but the extreme nerve pain that was locking my leg up is gone. Dr smith was the right choice
