Gabriel A. Smith's Online Review Report Card

My first visit with Dr Smith was very nice. He explained and showed me my stenosis and neck dislocations. He showed me what and how he would operate on my discs.

Everyone that helped me with the spine process was very helpful. Sara Brodeur and Julie Grimm both RN's they helped navigate me through every process of my back surgery. Dr. Smith was very explaining ever aspect of my back surgery, before and after. I couldn't have ask for such personable individuals in my life. All three of them were totally awesome.

Dr. Smith carefully evaluated my case and developed a well thought-out surgical solution. I received prompt preparatory attention and went into surgery on January 3rd. Although it has only been 3 weeks, I feel like a new man. I had significant pain after two previous back surgeries (performed by a different surgeon) prior to meeting with Dr. Smith and his team. As I write this review, I am pain free. Well done Dr. Smith!

The preparation for surgery, the surgery, and the post surgical experience were all first class. I would recommend Dr. Smith to anyone.

I am 3 weeks post op surgery. I had a fusion and another procedure done. I am in less pain than I was before my surgery. I feel like I have my life back without all the pain. I had surgery 9yrs ago with a different Doctor to trim two herniated discs. I could barely move after 6 weeks without being in pain. Dr. Smith really did give me my life back.

Lower lumbar fusions 20 years ago left me with pain, which was managed; but more degeneration above that level -plus development of scoliosis- left me more and more disabled. Surgery was technically very challenging, which I clearly understood. I hoped to arrest the deterioration, but at 3 weeks postop I already feel MUCH better than preop. It's wonderful to stand straight again! My Christmas miracle . Dr. Smith and team are amazing.

I am only 22 days post op I had to have a posterior cervical laminectomy and fusion. This was my 2nd neck surgery. So I have had my neck worked on in the front and now the back. When I talked to Dr. Smith prior to my surgery I found him to be very knowledgeable and understanding. He walked me through the different plans that were available to me. Dr. Smith told me the pros and cons of each procedure and we talked about which ones would be best for me and I got to make the decision. After surgery I was in pain but it was under control. He gave me my release papers which included what we had already gone over letting me know what I could and could not do. I am very glad to have Dr. Smith. He did a wonderful job and is a wonderful Doctor. Would definitely recommend him to any and everyone.

I had 4 prior surgeries from ANOTHER physician. Dr Smith did my 5th with amazing results. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Smith is very professional and talks to you in layman's terms. Easy to follow and understand.

I would and already have recommended Dr. Smith to family and friends. Dr. Smith, his physician assistant Ryan Milks and all of his staff have been wonderful. Everything concerning my surgery and now recovery was explained beautifully. I know that if I'd call today with a problem or concern, they'd get back to me in a very timely manner.
