Lance Craig Smith's Online Review Report Card

I have been suffering from neck pain for years. I had tried everything, nothing worked. Dr Smith fixed me. He and his crew are amazing.

Excellent people. Gave me a new back for that upcoming Colorado elk hunt??????

I read so many review before I went to see Lance Smith and really felt like he would be the best doctor to see. After seeing his PA for my first visit, doing X-rays and an MRI per their request, I finally got to have an appointment with Dr. Smith. I waited over an hour to see him, he walked in abruptly, reviewed nothing from my x-rays or MRI, told me there wasn't much wrong (I was walking with a walker for 10 days a month ago and hardly able to move. This is also the 3rd time this has happened in the last 10 years so I don't really see that as nothing wrong.), I was young, and I could burn nerves if I wanted to, do injections if I wanted to or just live with the pain. When I told him I wasn't sure what decision to make his response was, "Well, then do nothing." And that was it. I waited over an hour to see him and he gave me 10 minutes of rushed time with him and no resolution. Hundreds of dollars later I have no plan, no resolution and am back to trying to figure this all out on my own. I've never felt so unseen by a doctor. I can't lay on my back at all, can't sit in a chair for long at all, have trouble standing most days and a constant pain in my back... but nothings really wrong I guess according to his opinion.

I had a great experience, I was able to get in very fast, the staff was very nice. Dr. Smith has a great bedside manner, I knew ahead of time that I would need surgery. Once he viewed the MRI he agreed that surgery would be my best option. Everything was smooth, I will say you will wait a little while to be seen in the office but you usually see the PA, when I did see Dr. Smith he was fast. I would highly recommend him for Laminectomies.

Dr Smith and his staff are amazing! Since day one of scheduling a consultation, day of my spine surgery, post op and follow up went very well! I highly recommend Dr Smith for your spine needs! The hospital where I had my surgery done, the nurses and therapist were genuine and kind and always looked out for me and my needs! 5 stars isn’t enough for the quality of care I received! Thank you Dr Smith and staff for all your care and humbleness!!!

I’m 55 years old and work in construction. Dr Smith and his staff were great. I am very happy with my results and back to work.

Had seen Dr Smith a few months ago and am impressed with this Doctor! He listens, really listens to the patient AND will let you know what is and is NOT necessary. Also will look at you while he's talking instead of others that close their eyes or look down. My second visit today Feb 22 was equally pleasing, although there was no clear cut prognosis, Dr Smith did recommend an option to investigate. Still no surgery recommend which is strange coming from an Orthopedic Surgeon. But he doesn't tell you what you think you want to hear but tells you like it is, again very refreshing.

Dr Smith took his time, listened to our concerns & suggested a treatment plan to help me recover from an injury to the fullest extent possible.

After multiple doctors, procedures and surgeries for my back I went to see Dr Smith and he wasted no time trying to resolve my back pain. He is thorough, professional and we are very pleased with our experience so far. His staff is amazing as well.

They’re always caring and friendly staff. Dr Smith is very thorough and knowledgeable. I trust him.
