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.

A Surgeon Who Truly Cares
He is, without a doubt, one of the most compassionate and skilled doctors I have ever encountered. He has taken care of multiple members of my family, including my husband, and every single time, he has gone above and beyond to make sure they were truly cared for, not just as patients, but as people.He takes the time to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand, answers every question with patience, and never makes you feel rushed. In a situation that could be overwhelming and scary, he provides comfort, confidence, and reassurance.But what really sets Dr. Smith apart is his heart. He doesn’t just do his job, he genuinely cares. You can see it in the way he listens and the way he speaks to his patients. He treats every patient like family, and that kind of care is RARE.There are not enough words to express how grateful we are for Dr. Smith. If you or a loved one ever need a neurosurgeon, I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Would never recommend this provider
I had a back surgery in 2014 with Dr. Smith. It was a complete failure because instead of securing the I jury he did the very least and removed some of the disk. The rest collapsed and my pain was worse after waking up from surgery than it was before surgery. His staff is u helpful. I was never able to get a 6 week follow up after surgery despite multiple attempts. After 4 miserable years, I was able to get surgery from another provider in another state. The experience was completely different and the other countries physician secured and stabilized the area that Dr. Smith should have done. Or that is what was told to me.

Dr. Smith and his staff provide wonderful care.
From the time I was recommended to Dr. Smith to my last post-op visit, I felt confident that I was in good hands. Dr. Smith is efficient without neglecting patient care. He was willing to schedule my procedure during a time that was most beneficial for me, even though he had to operate the day before a major holiday. I am happy to highly recommend Dr. Smith.

Dr Smith is amazing. Great bedside manners and he know what he's doing. Plus he breaks down his medical terminology to where I could understand what was going on.

Dr. Smith was very professional yet friendly in explaining what he would be doing during surgery. He answered all my questions & left it up to me as to whether I would have the surgery. I had a laminectomy almost 3 weeks ago & feel great. I had very little pain afterwards, only took 3 pain pills after coming home. I also noticed the red & purple splotches on my feet & ankles that had been there a long time are fading.Blood flow is even better. Thank you Dr. Smith
