My has been great from my first visit. When reviewing my test results Dr. Smith spent as much time needed for my husband and I to understand the results.

i received a diagnosis that was accurate, and Dr Smith efficiently scheduled the procedure.

Dr. Smith always listens to me as a person, not just a case file #. He is interested in how the stenosis in my back affected my daily life, how it affected my ability to work and be active, and after my surgery, how I was progressing and improving.
