Patient Reviews
Jun 05, 2017
Dr. Smith and Vikki are great! Dr. Smith has seen both of my daughters. My youngest was 6 at the time and she fractured her wrist. He was very good with her and made her feel much better after he put on the cast. My oldest 13 was seen recently for a knee injury. Vikki was amazing and pushed the referrals through in no time at all. She went above and beyond her duties to make sure my daughter received the necessary treatment asap. I recommend Dr. Smith to anyone who wants quality care.
