He has an awful attitude! He doesn’t even listen to you when you talk to him! When you pay good money for an appointment , he doesn’t even check your back to see if something is wrong! My husband smokes 2 cigarette’s a day and he blamed all of his back pain on that! Also he tried to accuse my husband of being a drug addicted, when my husband doesn’t even take his pain medication because he doesn’t like drugs! This dude needs to like totally go home and relax or fish or something!!

We as patients should have the most trust in our doctors to help us live better lives. For my father, going to Dr Smith was a huge mistake. My father is in extreme physical pain and is worst off now than before the surgeries. Dr Smith is not a kind man. Not someone who puts some emotion and heart into what he does. If you are thinking about using this Dr please rethink it. You will be worse off. It hurts our family to see our father suffer physically every day.

Dr. Smith is not going to candy coat his diagnoses nor his expectations of you as a patient. As a retired Marine, I can respect that and I also appreciate it.

I underwent surgery in 2016. I signed all the releases so shame on me. All I know now is the hardware that was installed in my neck was uneven (I was assured this was "normal") and I will live the rest of my life (I'm 65 now) in constant pain. Mobility in my neck has been severely reduced and sometimes it feels like I have loose bolts rolling around in my neck. The worst of it all? It corrected NONE of the problems I was experiencing prior to surgery.
