“Compassionate Doctor”

What an amazing Doctor, I was crashed on my right side at a leisurely bike ride broke right arm and dislocated right shoulder, terrible facial road rashes I looked like a Halloween character truly painful). In minutes from healthy to a mess. Dr Smith was very compassionate even in my hospital bed, after next day major surgery with a plate and 8 big screws he truly cared about my recovery. In 3 months with a great physical therapy combination i was healing very nicely, 1year later fully recoverd.

I suffered a fall of about 80 feet down a cliff. I had many broken bones. Dr. Smith specifically help with the fracture in my left tibia. He explained what was going, what the surgery was going to be and what the rehab would be. He was very attentive, shared much knowledge and answered all my questions completely. I trust Dr. Smith's judgement and knowledge implicitly,.
