If you were to ask any one of my three children/athletes what the key to their success has been, Dr. Smith would be recognized as one of the keys to their success. His deep knowledge of how to treat athletes has allowed them to play through their injuries, rather than taking a significant amount of time off from their sport, along with his ability to understand and quickly diagnose a problem, in my opinion, has prevented more severe issues. He has treated many of my children’s injuries from recovery after broken bones, shoulder tendonitis, pinched nerves, hip flexor problems, and a torn calf muscle. The reality is that athletes get hurt, getting on top of an injury is key, with Dr. Smith able to provide the necessary treatment required to prevent more significant problems. He is always quick with an answer, suggests additional exercises to strengthen problem areas, and has even come in the office on a day off to “tape up my soccer player” before a big game or tryout. This brand of alternative medical care has been a godsend, as it has prevented us from turning to more traditional treatments such as pain medication. His caring nature has always served as a source of comfort, as he truly looks after the best interests of his patients.
