John M. Small, M.D.

In my 71 years I've never met a more dedicated, skilled, and kind physician. I thank God he was referred to me and became my doctor.

Nothing but the best. I’m in good hands!

Spent as long as was desired with patient

Personable and an expert in his field

Absolutely wonderful man. Very thorough. Explains everything so you understand and answers all questions. Genuinely kind and caring.

Very personable, answering all our questions, which was obviously the reason he was running a little late because he’s likely doing it for everyone, but well worth the little extra wait.

A wonderful, compassionate doctor, who listens and talks to you

The best

Dr Small is now my CEO Scoliosis Surgeon! He and his associate (wish I could remember his name) were professional and most of all explained everything while going through my disc scans. I had many diagnostic tests prior to this appointment and Dr Small took his time in a very detailed understanding way. I’m looking forward to being under his care! The front and back office team were exceptional at check in!

Amazing physician

So nice and explained all my options

Dr Small was absolutely the kindest most knowledgeable surgeon. He presented with excellent bedside manners, great listening skills and amazing staff. As a wife of a physician and physical therapist myself I would give Dr Small and his practice a 10 stars.

Dr. SMALL is always very friendly and always has a smile for his patients . What I really appreciate is his explanation and discussions that is very easy to comprehend.....not a lot of medical jargon unless absolutely necessary.

Very educated and compassionate doctor! Appreciated his mannerism and how he explained to me in detail about my options and gave me sound advice. Grateful to have met him. Look forward to our next meeting. You can tell he truely cares about people and his position as a Doctor! Very great experience in person. Thank you Dr Small.

Absolutely the best spine physician in the tampa bay market.

I would not go anywhere else.

Thank you Dr Small for reducing my anxieties related to my back. I appreciate your knowledge and expertise, kindness, and great listening skills.

He is one of the two best doctors I have. Very knowledgeable and very kind. I really trust him. Maria and the rest of his staff are always pleasant and helpful!

I would like to go forward and have llaminectomy . What can I do now? I do have pain . do I need a new MRI .? How can o schedule . Thank you for seeing me . I thought you would suggest it??

Very attentive. Asked questions, listened to my answers. Complete exam was done. Most doctors seem to be afraid to touch people. (Covid) very pleased. If you want a great doctor. Here he is

My appointment was at 11:40 AM three hours later I am in the waiting room waiting for the doctor to come in my room not out in the hall and he still hasn’t come in. I have to leave to keep the kids from school. This is so sad that you can’t see a doctor in less than three hours. No one told me to expect to spend the whole day there. Bring your lunch. Yes I was starving. My cell battery died.

I cant say enough good things about my recent surgery and recovery. Dr.Small is an excellent surgeon who I would recommend.

Explained everything so I understood and spent time answering my questions and diagnosed my problem. I left feeling very confident about what’s ahead for treatment.

Extremely thorough and patient. Would highly recommend him to anyone. Explained medical situation in great detail, and gave more than ample time to ask any questions. Would recommend him highly to anyone

Took his time explaining everything.

Very professional.

Absolutely awesome made you feel comfortable right away. Listened to you. Will definitely see Dr Small again!!

I made an appointment to see Dr. Small and waited 3 weeks. I received appointment reminders for which I responded back that I would be coming. I filled out the check in paper work on line. I showed up the morning of the appointment (on time) and checked in. I paid my co-pay and was told please have a seat and wait to be called. I waited for over 35 minutes and then was called to the desk only to be told I had to reschedule because the Dr. Small was not there that day (4-13-22). I asked why was I scheduled for that day if he wasn't going to be there and I was told someone made a mistake when booking the appointment. I then asked why didn't someone tell me when I checked in on the day of the appointment that the doctor was not there that day instead of having to wait for 35+ minutes only to be told I have to reschedule ?? ZERO acceptable answers were given...... My time is as important as the doctors is and this experience was unacceptable !!!!!!!
