Much better experience at this office. The doctor actually examined the back of my knee, which is the problem to begin with, instead of just looking at an x-ray of the front of my knee. I felt much better at the end of my visit. Good demeanor.

Best surgeon in Newcastle county! I put that on both hips 🤣

Very thorough with everything and showed X-rays ….. definitely takes his time with explaining things and very knowledgeable

I had so much hope that we could at least diagnose what is causing my hip and knee pain. What is causing me so much pain from time to time that I will throw up. As someone that had cysts that ate away tissue for years and caused nerve damage to my left arm, when I say something hurts it really hurts. I was emotionally devastated when I left the office knowing that this is my life. This is what I have to look forward to for the next 30+ years of my life. Muscle spasms, pain, I my hip and knee, making uncomfortable sounds and sensations, numbness and I what hurt the most was feeling that he didn’t believe me. When I can put a heating pad uncovered on my bare skin for hours at a time and not feel it I think that needs to be looked into, but I’m fine because I am to young to have issues and there isn’t anything that can be done. This was the third orthopedic doctor I have been to.

Great first time experience with Dr Smucker. Excellent bedside manner and great communicator.

Always kind and caring.

I love the fact that he explained and showed me each part of my X-ray letting me know about bones of how I’m built two thumbs up

Despite chronic pain, I was not ready to accept the need for total hip replacement. After my initial consultation with Dr. Smucker, I felt confident that now would be the right time. He took the time to explain in detail what was happening in my joint and the progressive deterioration taking place. Decision made, the process was clear and easy as his nurses and staff were in contact with me going over everything necessary to prepare for surgery. Two weeks now after surgery and I am glad I had it done. Sure, initially recovery was uncomfortable. But the pain of healing is much more manageable than the pain of Osteoarthritis. The Christiana nursing staff had me up and walking the day after surgery! Now, I see daily improvement. Dr. Smucker clearly likes the work he does, he is enthusiastic, positive and willing to listen to any concerns. His staff were always available to answer questions along the way. I would not hesitate to refer any to his practice. Many thanks! JL

Wish I went to him before 3 other doctors and got a knee replacement. He looked at my xrays and said they don't do surgery by xrays, its the patients. He explained that knee replacement doesn't give you your original knee back, I thought it would. Also the doctor who did my surgery never said that I should go for a xray and check up once a year. I will be going to Dr. Smucker once a year from now on.

Dr Smucker was very informative with explaining to my my problem. I was really impressed and would recommend him to every one.

Dr Smucker has been my Doctor for the past 5 years. He has seen me on short notice and has been attentive to my concerns.
