“Gary Smart has made my life much better”
I have been seeing Gary for over 5 years and his advice and chiropractic services have helped me to live a more pain free life. His plan for periodic back adjustments, exercises, massage and after visit support has really "straitened" me out. I really appreciate his expertise.

“Recommend to anybody that needs manipulation therapy”
I've been coming to South Portland Chiropractic for about one year and have definitely noticed a huge improvement in my movement and back pain, which has allowed me to do the activities that I enjoy. If another issue arises, it is addressed and I don't get the same exact treatment that I received during my previous visits. Staff is always friendly and willing to work with you with scheduling.

“Amazing provider and staff”
Dr. Smart and his team are amazing! You are always greeted while warm smiles and caring. Dr. Smart always cares about the whole person, not just the head/neck/shoulders/back. I know that I can ask him about other things going on with me and he'll give me great advise.
I always leave feeling heard, valued and rejuvenated.

“always satisfied”
I've been seeing Dr. smart for over ten years now. I have a catering business and do a lot of carrying and lugging heavy equipment, resulting in back issues.
The practice is always great with trying to fit me in with my busy schedule and getting me back on the job.
What I appreciate most about Dr. Smart is he doesn't keep me coming back when I am feeling better and it isn't necessary, which is unlike other chiropractors I had seen in the past!

“great people”
I have been going to So Po Chiro for 4 yrs and they have always been very nice and understanding. They move appointments when needed with no problem and are very flexible with payments. I highly recommend them to others all the time.
