What can I say about Dr. Smith? Besides he's a phenomenal doctor, and I do mean that. Great bedside manner, excellent surgeon, and genuinely cares about his patients. I can tell he can empathize with me and doesn't want me to suffer today or years down the road. I appreciate the concern for today but also how my I jury will look down the line. I'm recovering very well thanks to him!

From the very beginning, Dr. Smith showed great concern and care for me. I didn't even know things were as bad as they were and he made me feel cared for when he wanted to fix me quickly instead of waste more time. I appreciate his care and humor. Great bedside manner and that so rare today. Thank you Dr. Smith, I already feel much better thanks to you!
