Cannon Memorial Hospital: "After a fall, I was seen very quickly in the Emergency Room. I saw several of the staff as my care progressed. Everyone I saw was absolutely wonderful to me from the medical personnel to the office workers. Dr. Smith was better than any doctor I have ever seen in his professionalism and bedside manner. He treated my fear and trauma by his good nature as well as treating my actual wounds.
