Robert W. Smith, DC, DABCI

Since meeting Dr. Smith after my motorcycle accident The pains in my lower back and legs are nearly gone. My overall health is the best it's ever been because of the wealth of knowledge Dr. Smith has provided. Not often these days will a doctor will take the time to explain themselves and make sure you understand what is being given. I personally haven't had real good experiences with doctors in general but I look forward to the time I get to spend with Dr. Smith. He is a great doctor that truly cares.

When I met Dr. Smith I was more sick that I realized at the time. I had chronic yeast infections, skin problems, my mood and mental status would swing wildly throughout my cycle, and I barely had enough energy to be a mom and work 10-13 hours per week. Dr. Smith was the first in a long string of providers who actually listened to me. He looked at the whole constellation of my symptoms and experiences without writing them off as just "being female" or just "depression" or it all being "just in my head." He identified several nutritional deficiencies that main stream medicine hadn't even bothered to look for.

He took a very scientific, investigative approach to treatment - looking for the root causes of my many issues. I particularly appreciated this because I and my husband are scientists too and his approach made sense. With in weeks of beginning his recommended regimen I had more energy and more stable mental health than I had had in many many years.

Ultimately it took four more years, two immunologists, and two gynecologists to correct the chronic yeast (I did need a prescription anti-fungal for several months). But Dr. Smith set me on the healing path. He helped me begin healing my gut lining and correct nutritional deficiencies, which eliminated complicating factors and helped other doctors to then be able to identify and correct the yeast issue.

I still use several of the supplements that he introduced me to. Today I have the energy to be mom, work full time, and attend grad school - all at the same time! The most important thing Dr. Smith did was give me hope when I'd almost lost it. Thank you!

I have been seeing Dr. Smith for a few months now and I am very pleased with the progress I have made this far. He is a chiropractic internist, the only one I could locate in Louisiana. Not only does he address physical issues but nutritional issues as well. He is patient and takes the time to listen to his patients to get a full understanding of the problem. He is also extremely kind and professional. I made the right choice when I selected him to help me fix my issues!

Dr. Smith has been treating both my husband and myself for several months. I have seen a dozen or more doctors in different areas of specialty over the years that have all just written me various expensive prescriptions with long lists of side effects only to mask my symptoms. Dr. Smith is the first doctor I have ever had to actually try to get to the root cause of my problems and treat the actual problems, not just the symptoms.

He focuses on overall health and natural, safe, and effective research-supported treatments. I have suffered from severe chronic migraine, TMJ dysfunction, and chronic neck pain for over two decades. I am no longer taking the medications I had been taking for these problems. I can actually open my mouth now without pain for the first time that I can remember.

The frequency and severity of my migraines has decreased drastically, and my neck no longer hurts. This was all achieved through changes in diet, the addition of nutritional supplements, and chiropractic treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Smith.

Dr. Smith has been working with me for almost a year. I am grateful that I was introduced to him. From my perspective, he is practicing functional nutrition of the most current, in-depth, scientific knowledge there is today. He is a perpetual student and teacher as so much is unfolding in the world of health and nutrition. I truly trust him to address system issues at the mitochondrial level. An example of many.my A1C has dropped while Dr. Smith has been treating me, quite a feat after spending years working with my diet and exercise to prevent me from becoming a type 2 diabetic (family history of diabetes).

Another significant issue was my sleep. I wasn't sleeping for years and really didn't know what it was like to sleep through the night but now it's unusual if I don't sleep. It's made a significant difference in my quality of life. I will continue to work with Dr. Smith as issues come up with my health and I feel confident they will be addressed.

I started setting Dr. Smith for migraines on a referral from a friend of mine. I had never seen a chiropractor before so was a little nervous. I am so glad I went. After years of suffering with migraines, Dr. Smith has been the only doctor that has not only been able to give me relief without medication, but also find the cause of the migraines. Much to my surprise, it was only partially caused by a neck issue.

Through testing as a chiropractic internist he was able to pinpoint some dietary triggers. I do still occasionally get migraines, but not near as often and the intensity has decreased significantly. I highly recommend Dr. Smith.

Dr. Smith has treated my family and me for decades. He has diagnosed allergies, broken bones, dislocated joints, viral/bacterial/fungal infections, Type II diabetes, and other inflammatory symptoms. He is an intelligent and compassionate physician who will do whatever it takes to treat his patient. Through chiropractic treatment and nutritional coaching, he has balanced my glucose levels, helped with weight loss and inflammatory symptoms, and alleviated a majority of allergy symptoms. I definitely recommend his treatment to any and everyone no matter the health concern.

Dr. Smith is a uniquely dedicated professional that goes above and beyond with his patients. I have been to many doctors that were quick to prescribe various heavy drugs without addressing the core issues behind them. Dr. Smith immediately addresses the important role nutrition and environmental toxins play in our day to day health, and he is patient in explaining what things might affect us medically and why.

With his help, I have been able to completely stop taking the many medications I was on previously, and I have never felt healthier. He helps identify triggers to certain conditions with massive amounts of knowledge of the human body-down to the cellular level. Dr. Smith is also the first physician to complete a true physical on me, and additionally, he reviews my bloodwork in full with me to assure that I understand how my own body works.

I could not imagine seeing another professional after receiving the attentive care and compassion that I have working with Dr. Smith. He is a truly dedicated professional- always learning, researching, and teaching those around him and in his community. Chiropractic issues, stomach issues, metabolic issues, chronic disease- you name it- he can fix it with helpful lifestyle suggestions, vitamins, and a lot of TLC : Thanks for manifesting the integrity and passion for health that all of the medical profession should!

There are some people in life who are perfectionists who dedicate themselves fully to what they do. Dr. Smith is one of those people I have been fortunate enough to have met and used for his services. In conversations he takes his time explaining things and cites studies he has read over many years to demonstrate his conclusions. His services are also augmented by his knowledge of nutrition with advice on what to eat and avoid to bring about positive health changes.

He also offers advice on what vitamin supplement sources are best as I have learned not all vitamin manufacturers are equal. Personally, my experiences with him have been a blessing. He is a quality human being.
