Had such a positive experience with Dr. Highsmith, he did my surgery in 2009 and I've been pain free ever since. His recommendation was absolutely correct and confirmed that I made the right decision to go forward with my surgery. It was so successful, got me off pain meds and gave me the relief I needed to sleep at night. I've recommended him to many of my friends and family. If I had it to do over again I would only go through that surgery with Dr. Highsmith.

Had 2 prior opinions with spinal fusion as the recommended course of action. Read about Dr. Highsmith's experience in ADR and after consultation, opted for ADR surgery. It has been 4 years with awesome movement and no pain. I can play all sports. Dr. Highsmith changed my life style for the better.

I have had spinal problems since HS. In 1987 I was run over by my car, and have been in pain management for 19 years and have had previous surgeries, procedures, etc. In the last year, I felt different (like my hardware had shifted)....no one would listen to me. Dr. Highsmith did...and I am so thankful. Discs were bone on bone and the pain was awful. Dr. Highsmith listened ! I am so thankful that we found him...he is the BEST !!

Dr. Highsmith was responsible for saving my life winter of 2012/13. I acquired a bacteria infection in my spine as a result of a prior surgery. He, along with another Dr. finally determined what the infection was, and ended up rebuilding a portion of my spine. Technically and professionally he could not have been a better friend, or Dr. looking after my best interests. I highly recommend him to anyone .
