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.

Thank you for finding out what’s wrong with my back my general doctor kept saying there is nothing wrong. You’ll be OK and would not refer me. That’s why I called you myself and back to come because you hadn’t seen me in over six months knew I needed a referral, but you took me anyways finding out what was wrong. Thank you so much and your nurses are all so sweet.

Dr. Smith saw my 88 year old mom. He was very kind and caring to her. He explained her situation to us and her future plan for care. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs him services.
