Dr Smith is very personable and thorough in his explanation of my condition. He was attentive in his examination and took the time to show me xrays and mri results. He questioned me as to what my preferences in how to treat my injury and the results that are expected.

Dr. Austin was easy to talk to and readily discussed all of my questions thoroughly. He took his time, even though the clinic was very busy. I really liked his congenial personality, good sense of humor, and obvious skill and knowledge. I saw him for my shoulder pain and was very satisfied with his treatment and recommendations.

Very professional. Explained my shoulder issues and options. Since surgery is not an option (my decision) cortisone shots were given with understanding I can have additional as needed. Have been happy with treatment so far. Plan on extra time for appointment. Does take a while.

Good Dr. Would recommend him for hip issues. He's not in a hurry, and spends alot of time with the patients. The caveat is You may have to wait longer if you are not the only person in the clinic!

Dr Smith had excellent bedside manners, was very efficient in his diagnosis and treated me as best as he could (we left AZ for Mesa the next day). Had we stayed longer (we're snowbirds) I would have trusted him with my rotator cuff surgery!
