I saw Dr.Smink after a less than stellar apt with another doctor in his office. He was kind, smart and made me feel completely comfortable. I'm so glad I decided to go with my gut and see someone else.

My experience with Dr. Smink was great. He is wonderful I attribute to him the fact that I am active, can assist my disabled wife and can continue to work. If it were not for the successful surgery he did over 10 years ago, I would have been disabled. [redacted] Dr. Smink remains modest and unassuming. [redacted]
