The most in-depth assessment I’ve ever had. I didn’t feel rushed. He explained everything in great detail. More than impressed.
Dr.Small did my cervical spine surgery in 2019. I had excellent results. And he’s a very caring doctor. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr.Small.
Went into surgery totally prepared. Dr. Small was generous with his time and educated me well on the procedure.
If surgery could be a pleasant experience this was it. Dr. Small is so kind and patient. He is professional and thorough. I came the day of surgery confident, calm and and ready.
Excellent doctor, incredibly skilled, bedside manner 10 out of 10.

Dr. Small is the “best.” Very kind, knowledgeable, and mostly , he let’s you ask questions without hesitation, and he will answer your questions in until he feels certain you have a solid understanding of everything.. He has “time” for you, his staff is simply the best. Dr. Small “cares” about you. “Highly recommend “ Dr. Small. Joyce B.
Dr. J. Small is a wonderful, competent spinal surgeon. A PT friend of mine asked a local neurosurgeon he knows about Dr J. Small. The neurosurgeon said that Dr. Small is the best spinal surgeon in the area. I found that he is thorough and considerate, and he spent time to discuss the details of the surgery.
