Dr. Smith is nothing but a work comp Dr., meaning he says whatever they want him to say for the money they pay him. He could care less about anyone with real work related injuries and how sad is that? Only out to help himself money wise. He should be ashamed of himself. People don't get injured and ruin themselves for the rest of their lives on purpose. He should try helping injured people instead having their only income shut off due to his negative reports.

Dr. Smith is one of a kind, excellent communication with patient, compassionate, kind and very knowledgeable. I had 2 spine surgery and he always takes him time to explain what is going on and what is the next step. The entire staff are very nice. At the beginning I was treated by Mary his PA and wasn't happy she was rude and I had to remain a few times about my medications allergies. I recently saw her in February and she is a different person, must be learning from Dr. strongly recommend him

I went for the first time today as a second opinion for work comp. He was okay, but he did not offer
any treatments or recommendations to help me. They took a bunch of xrays and I did not get to see any
of them or go over what he saw. He asked a few questions about my work related injury and I guess I'll come back on here to finish this review after getting a copy of his opinion.
