Very thorough and addresses whole main issue. Gave me some recommendations on non-RA related medication changes that might be beneficial. Very responsive and quick with test results feedback.

I love the way he explains everything so clearly. He is very professional. I enjoyed speaking with a Dr. Who knows what he is talking about.

We patients get Dr. Smitherman's attentive health care. If a test is needed he orders one right away!

Normally, I am very happy with his treatment…but not this time. Neuropathy is a reason for disability, but not good enough for handicap parking. He is the one that prescribes my medication.

He done a good assessment on me to come up with a great plan

Not much of a bedside manner. Very flat and dull personally. Even though he said, go ahead. I’m listening, he never made eye contact or gave me the feeling he WAS listening.

I enjoy Dr. Smitherman. He is very knowledgeable in his field. He listens to my concerns, and doesn’t push medications on me (I try to stay pretty holistic). He shows me photos and examples of things we discuss in my appointment. His front desk lady, and nurse Amy are both pretty amazing as well. I have referred him to several people and will continue to do so.
