This man is a Godly man and a fantastic surgeon- his care and concern and confidence in the ability he has to help people with horrible pain is far above our expectations! He is amazing!!

Awesome experience. Dr Small’s bedside manner is the best I have seen in years. I trusted the information he gave me . I was able to ask as many questions as I wanted to. Dr Small’s Clinical staff is excellent as well. Would recommend without any reservations.

Took his time explaining. Did not rush thru like other specialists. Addressed my concerns and even suggest to take another opinion instead of imposing his diagnosis on me.

Intellectual and I felt that Dr. small really did an in-depth throw analysis to come to a logical conclusion. And also explained it may not be 100% correct but it’s at least worth trying. And to finally get an answer of what might be causing intrusive leg. Pain is very helpful. I loved him and I highly recommend him.
