Dr. Justin Smith is a super doctor!! He listens to you and explains things very well. If not for him I probably wouldn't be walking today. He did a major spinal fusion for my scoliosis and got rid of my pain and ability to function again.

Excellent care! I was listened to and given understandable explanations, including the use of the MRI scan to help explain what's going on and his treatment choice
