George A Small

First appointment went great, agreed with my previous providers diagnosis. Then a few months later with not much else testing done, he says he doesn't believe it's neurological related. Told me to see another specialist to see if they could help. When the other specialist wasn't able to help me, Dr. Small had nothing else to offer for me. Dr. Small and his assistant didn't seem to want to listen or help me anymore with my ongoing issues.

Dr. Small was very attentive and thorough. He was very thoughtful in explaining the procedure and his findings. He is a very compassionate and caring physician.

My appointment with Dr. Small was a disaster from the very beginning. The nurses who initially saw me before the doctor didn't even greet me; they just immediately rolled their eyes and gave each other a look when they found out they had to do the testing for my condition. They then proceeded to do the tests completely wrong and argued with each other about it in the middle of my testing. Dr. Small and the rest of the staff did not seem knowledgeable about the condition and they refused to put me through to actual testing for the condition even though I nearly met the criteria even with their inaccurate testing. He didn't listen. Really disappointing; do not waste your time and money.

First visit, Enjoy, how he is involved with the patient, taking time, listening.. Good Physician.

Dr. Small is a very attentive and thoughtful physician. I am most grateful for his willingness to explain his thoughts and put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a top notch Neurologist in Pittsburgh.

Dr. Small provided me with one of the most interesting & exciting doctor's office visits I've ever had. He was engaged and most friendly and immediately gained my confidence through his stated interest to answer any possible questions I had for him. He shared his views on a variety of topics and assured me that my ailments belonged to a normal spectrum of a senior. I am most impressed with his knowledge and engaging manner.

Neuropathy care and nerve tests; EXCELLENT explanations, and extremely professional. I would recommend him to all.....

Excellent feedback discussion of assessment of my health status. Very professional. I would see him again and recommend him to all.....

Dr. Small is caring man that listens. He took all the time I needed and has even called me on his own time to see how I am doing. The wait time was minimal, I was able to get an appointment straight away. He explained to me the particulars of my disease and how my other issues could affect my current issue. Dr. Small's staff is great, particularly his nurse, she will always takes my phone calls and will get with Dr. Small and back to me ASAP,

Visited Dr. Smalls upon referral from my vascular doctor for EEG/ENG tests to try to find the reason for the suddenly occurring severe leg weakness that I was dealing with. In the waiting room at Allegheny General, Dr. Smalls popped his head into the waiting room & said, "I'm Dr. Smalls and I will be doing your tests". After being prepped by nurses, he entered the testing room, did not say another word, and proceeded with the tests. After the tests were completed after about 30 minutes, he said, "your tests were good, you should have a MRI to check your lower back". He then walked out and I never heard another word, phone call, email, or any other kind of correspondence to me or my PCP to let me know what to do next. So, due to Dr. Smalls abrupt attitude, I'm sitting here six weeks later trying to figure out what caused my problem and how to fix it. I don't really know the next step I need to take or who to see. He really gave me the feeling that I was just another billing invoice to send out and he really didn't care about helping me. He seemed like he was just going through the motions, and trying to get the day over with.

Saw Dr. Small for an EMG. While he did attempt to make conversation, I found him to be rather condescending. He assured me nothing was wrong with me (and the chronic pain that I’ve had for 3 years) and that the PA would be able to “take care of it”. He then warned me about the “dangers” of chiropractors. As I was about to leave the room towards the end of the appointment, he received a phone call, asked me to wait in the room until he was finished, and proceeded to talk to another medical professional about another patient while in front of me for about 15 minutes or so. While exact names weren’t mentioned, it did not feel the most sensitive to HIPAA, and was certainly not a respectful use of my time. While this was just my experience with him, and perhaps he acts differently around other folks, the appointment did make me feel alright that he wasn’t my PCP. Saw Dr. Small for an EMG.

I visited Dr. Small for treatment of residual effects of atypical GBS. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and compassionate, taking time to listen to chief complaints and fully addressing my questions and concerns. I give Dr. Small my highest recommendation.

Dr Small is very condescending. As said in other reviews he interrupts and makes assumptions and does not let me speak and does not listen. Worst part of my care. He did a nerve study test on me and when it was all done he had done the wrong testing. All that time and pain for nothing. And he would not repeat it and doWhat he should have done. I would guess to cover his original mistake. Awful experience. Basically called me fat and that it was my own fault that I can not walk even though it is progressive and stared when I was thin.

Dr small was very rude and condescending. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Small was very rude. Didn't listen to a word we said, and when he didn't find anything my mother voiced her concerns and he walked out of the room on her. Very unprofessional. Though the orthopedic team at the hospital did great.

Quite possibly the worst experience I have ever had with a physician, much less a specialist that I waited 4 months to see! He was short, cut me off several times, waggled his finger to stop me so he could tell me something of his own experience and after bringing my records from 2 plus years of issues- he scanned through them with little to no knowledge of what I had been through and in my opinion, ZERO solution aside from suggesting I wait to see a NEW DR. Colossal waste of time and money.

I would not under any circumstances recommend this dr. Waited in the room for 45 minutes to have him spend less then 5 with me. He was rude, condescending, and made it very obvious he did not care at all. He had no clue about any of my previous tests or medical history.

He was always a very kind, caring, and competent doctor!!! He never rushed or spoke down to me.. I wish every doctor was as wonderful as Dr. George Small.
