Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great office all around!
The team is lovely, they really seem to care and want the best life for their patients.

The experiences keep getting better
Went to my 6 week follow up appointment after my initial visit and injection to address my left knee pain. I have been pain free and after the consultation with Dr. Smathers we decided to not initiate another injection since the pain is no longer present. I am extremely impressed he thinks of his patient's needs before just ringing the cash register. Highly recommend Dr. Smathers.

I am having knee and back issues. Dr. Smathers and his colleagues are working with me to find the best solution. They ask my opinion and listen to my problems. It takes time and patience, but I feel they are working to help me find the best solution that will benefit in the long run. Well worth the time and money to work with all doctors in this office.
