Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Awesome shoulder & knee surgeon
Dr Smith operated on both my shoulders in 2022. Left was a fix, the right was reverse shoulder replacement. I did as the PT people asked & I’m better than new after another surgeons office PA tore up both of my shoulders in early 2022, they never apologized, said they were sorry or nothing. I saw Dr Smith as. referral from a family member. His demeanor & office personality of a caring Dr won me over. He repaired my left shoulder & replaced my right in July 2022 & December 2022. Then in July 2024 he replaced my left knee & in December I’m having him do my right knee. He is very compassionate, & caring physician. I would highly recommend him & I do so all the time.

Rotator Cuff repair
Dr Smith did my rotator cuff surgery 2 weeks ago. I’m very please with every step, from the beginning to the follow up this week. I’m doing much better than expected. He and his staff are very professional and cares about their patients. I love Dr Smith and will definitely use him for any future orthopedic needs in the future.

Dr. Smith is a skilled surgeon and good listener. As a nurse, I appreciated the fact that we had a conversation about the symptoms I had been experiencing. He pointed out on x-rays what his concerns were and then we discussed the plan of action to help improve the situation. I’ve been to Dr. Smith in the past, and found that he consistently listens to his patients and discusses a plan with the patient and seeks their input. I never hesitate to recommend Dr. Smith to my friends, patients or family that are in search of a wonderful orthopedic surgeon.

One of the best.
My family has gone to Dr. Smith since 2000. Our surgeries and care has always been successful and easy as possible. He spends time discussing what he thinks and listens to what I think to come up with the best treatment. I don’t think you can find a better orthopedic doctor.
