The feeling of dread was immediately eased when Dr Smith walked into my exam room and greeted me with a friendly handshake and a warm smile. It only got better from that point.. he took the time to explain to me my MRI results and the path that would be taken to resolve any issues that I had.
The entire staff at Northeast orthopedics are exemplary. Thank you.
