I only saw Dr. Smith while there, but he is a no nonesnse Doctor and gets to the business without delays. He's the best Doctor I've ever had in 77 years of life and I strongly reccommend his services to those that require treatment in his specialty. He's, absolutely, the best in his field.

This was my first time visiting Dr. Brett Smith at Andrews. He was very professional, friendly, courteous and most of all, knowledgeable. With his PA taking notes, observing and diagnosing with him, he listened to the history, did a physical exam and had a really good ideal as to what the problem was. And after a couple of more questions, he was able to elaborate what had happened and how it had happened, and I felt he truly understood the pain I was feeling. We talked about the next course of action, with options in the the treatment plan and he answered all my questions to satisfaction. I felt very confident with the treatment I received from Dr. Brett Smith and Andrews Institute and highly recommend him and his team to my friends and family. Keep up the awesome work.

I've always felt completely informed on the options I have had and am completely comfortable that the procedures I've had, from gel injections, to steroids to full knee replacement, were appropriate at the time I received them. And most importantly, Dr. Smith's encouragement (admonishment) on my approach to my rehab has been very effective.
