It was my first time seeing Dr Smitherman, we discussed my issue, he provided more information about where I was in severity which I appreciated. We discussed different treatment options and decided which one to try first. He demonstrated several stretches I can do on a daily basis and provided a handout. I was very pleased with the whole experience and would recommend him to anyone needing rheumatology close to home.
