He is awesome very knowledgable and caring. I have had fibromialga for years and cant take the drugs usually used, so no one was able to help until now. Doctor Smitherman has given me medication that is helping with the pain. He is moving to Nashville and i will drive the two hours to see him. He is worth it.
