I called First State on Tuesday in a great deal of pain. They scheduled me to see Dr. Smucker for Wednesday morning. He reviewed my films and discussed options that would alleviate my pain. I appreciated his direct approach as well as his thorough explanation of what he believes is causing my pain.
He was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable, thorough and explained everything in detail. He also has a very good sense of humor. I was very impressed and confident in his abilities.
Fair, not rushed, took his profession seriously and took time to answer questions. He also did an examination and went out of his way to set up a referral with a senior doctor.
Has helped me and was very professional. I would recommend him to anyone.
Excellent follow up.
Excellent!!
Dr Smucker is very friendly and knowledgeable
Dr Smucker was very knowledgeable about my hip.issues. He had X-rays taken and checked them for problems. He was able to recommending several options for me. I was very pleased that he took time to explain things and was not rushed in and out.
Very thorough. Takes time to explain what is going on and provides choices for treatment. Makes sure I understand and takes time to answer all my questions
No BS, talked straight up. Very thorough!
