“Kevin Smith is the consummate healer…professional, kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, approachable and THE BEST at what he does. I have had many pain procedures with Dr. Smith – Epidurals, trans-foraminals, trigger point, Occipital Nerve Block and more. Each and EVERY time I experienced relief. He listens, he cares. He also treats my 93-year-old dad for Post-Herpetic Neuralgia – the aftermath of Shingles. This syndrome has no cure and no “textbook” treatments. But Pops comes away every time with a positive response – and a renewed determination to simply BE better. It is inspirational to see a medical professional take such a personal interest. If you can see this doctor, I encourage you to do so. I think you will be pleased.”
