Dr. Smith has been treating me for the last three years and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with any type of foot problem. He works and talks fast but he will always take the time to answer any questions and be sure you understand your condition and your treatment. The staff is competent, knowledgable and friendly.
Marie Esteppe
I had a sprained ankle and had lots of warts on my feet due to all the sports I play. The doctors were able to use their new laser technology to eliminate all of my warts quickly and efficiently. They also were able to heal my ankle in less than 4 weeks, with a walking cast. The office was clean and all of the staff were helpful and very professional.
Lexi Smith
I am incredibly pleased with my orthotics. Since using them in my running shoes (which is always), I have had no more Achilles’ pain or tenderness, no hamstring issues (either leg), and increased strength and endurance generally.
