Dr. Smith is by far one of the best in his field of medicine. He took great care of my back after a fall & is currently taking care of my painful hip. I completely trust him in the future for any other needs I may have.

He is wonderful
He has worked to find the right placement for the epidural and was without pain for 6mths. I have spinal stenosis so the only answer for me are epidural. He has excellent patient communication.
