Easily the best injection I have ever received. Barely knew I had received a shot. And IMMEDIATE relief. Great bedside manner and easy to talk with.

Very attentive and caring. Sometimes the unknown can be disconcerting but Dr. Smathers made us feel we were not walking that road alone. TOGETHER we would find a solution. Thank you and Gid Bless.

He talks where I understand. He keeps very good track of my shots so I don’t get too much medication to soon and only so much a year.
