SOUTH JORDAN HEALTH CENTERMs Smolinski, Dr Smolinski was able to go straight to the heart of the matter, something a pain doctor and a physical therapist could not do after months of treatment. Ms Smolinski's name was pulled out of a hat... the first available appointment... so I was uncertain what quality of care I would receive. Pleasantly surprised... and more.
GREENWOOD HEALTH CENTERVery nice and helpful
GREENWOOD HEALTH CENTERGreat Doctor, listens and explains things
GREENWOOD HEALTH CENTERVery thorough in her explanation of my situation, clear directions/description of what happens next with me. Easy setting up the appointment, took her time explaining situation to me. So happy to have questions cleared up. I presented to ER, then U of U, then to rehab with no clear information about what happened next, or how long I'll be wearing this back brace, Dr. Smolinski cleared up my questions.
