Awesome doctor! He is a skilled surgeon who goes above and beyond for his patients . He really cares about our well-being.
He is an excellent and amazing! If you need a new knee or hip, he is the doctor for you!
Dr Smith made me feel so comfortably and at ease. He has the best bedside manner I have ever seen and I worked in the medical field for many years!! I have complete trust and faith in his ability!! I was referred to him by a friend who has already had two knee replacements performed by Dr. Smith and she has done exceptionally well. I’m so thankful to have found Dr Smith!
Well informed of what to expect, and his staff was very helpful.
Takes tone to talk with you- very down to earth and personable with great sense of humor that makes a trip to the doctor much better!
Dr Smith and Sarah are awesome
Very knowledgeable , hands on, caring and personable.
The most amazing doc you could ever wish for. Kind, compassionate, trustworthy, patient, not pushy, humorous and I can’t imagine any other orthopedic with better or more knowledge about knee replacements . It is like he established all of the protocol for knee replacement. Had mine done this morning at Andrews-the surgery after 2 years of not wanting it done. It was so easy for me but I did do all of the exercises and prep work prior to going. You may have to wait a little to see him but it is so very worth it. Thank you Dr. Smith
Positive, caring & sympathetic personality that puts me at ease & calms me.
No BS. Honest and forthcoming
