Went there for my mom's knees. Dr Smith only took x-rays & gave mom some shots. It helps a little but still her knees were hurting her. He is barely there at the office. We went to Orlando Health Orthopaedic Institute sports & med. They took x-rays & found very serious arthritis in both of mom's hips. Thanks to the Dr there for helping her with both hip replacement surgery mom is walking better. Never again go where the Dr is barely or never there & only gives shots.

Chris Hipps s fantastic. Knowledgeable, has a great bedside manner, works with where his clients are at. The facility itself is fully-stocked with the latest in exercise and rehab equipment. Lots of space for clients to feel comfortable to work either independently or with Dr. Smith or any of the other PTs.

Dr. Smith and staff are very caring and knowledgeable. Once you get in a room, everything happens very quickly. They try very hard not to keep you too long, but they answer all your questions and help out in any way they can. I like the fact that they do x-rays and the injections in house, so you don't have to drive all over to get everything done.

Originally went to Dr. Smith, I refused surgery on cervical due to auto accident so started seeing Dr. Jay Wright and he explained the choices I had to relieve my auto accident injuries to cervical and lower back bulging disks and herniated disk's In cervical disk's. I have had chronic psi and Dr. Wright has great empathy and understands the pain I live with chronically. He is the only doctor I trust.

AVOID this clinic. My husband visited Dr. Paul Shuler and he tells me that he is a good doctor. However, the office there is manage badly and is not pleasant. 65 min wait time and the office manager (I think Sonya) does not care much. The office staff is not helpful and when handed the blood test, they did not help or direct. Avoid or be prepared to waste time.

Dr. Shuler is great! However, the office staff is not efficient, not nice and worse of all, wait time is inconsiderate of the patients. Bad experience with the office manager. She simply does not care about customer and their time. Every time I wait 45 minutes to 1 hour. AVOID. UPDATE: Dr. Paul Shuler finally came to his senses and left this clinic
