My wife had two surgeries, the second to correct the first. Both were unsuccessful as Dr Smith used my wife to train other surgeons. Insufficient research was not done on my wife's conditions and she was insufficiently sedated, able to hear the voices relating the situation. read more

My wife has been Dr. Smith's patient for 15 years. She trust him implicitly and referred me to be under his care. Dr. Smith did an outstanding job on my November, 2017, lumbar fusion. Surgery went great, and I was discharged from the hospital in two days as planned. I am now free of the radiating right hip and lower leg pain that plagued me prior to surgery. Dr. Smith would personally call my home on a regular basis to check on my progress. The RN's that took care of me while I was hospitalized would often praise Dr. Smith's outstanding day and night dedication. I was told the story of how he came to the hospital at 10:30 just to get patient up to walk. I have full confidence in Dr. Smith and trust my care to his 30 years of experience, expertise and quality patient care. Prior to my surgery, I read his excellent patient ratings of completed lumbar fusion and related surgeries, and they served to solidly validate my total trust and confidence in him. I highly recommend Dr. Smith as an outstanding quality neurosurgeon. From personal experience, I have learned that Dr. Smith goes beyond the call of duty in care, dedication and acts of kindness. When visiting his office, he always takes the time to answer all of my questions. Dr. Smith puts you at ease and is easy to talk to. I find that he is an active listener. He mirrors what you tell him to let you know that he understands the problem you are communicating to him. During office appointments, he uses a life-like model of a spine and MRI scans on a very large monitor to identify the problem and answer questions. Before we decided on surgery to resolve my diagnosis, we tried all other available options. Surgery was a last resort. I knew that I was in great hands and I feel that my diagnosis has been remedied. Dr. Smith is a rare gem in the medical profession. I have experienced him to be the noblest physician that I have ever met. He is caring, demonstrates Christian virtues and is a Benefactor of kindness and good deeds. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Smith starting in October 2016. He was recommended to me by my attorney and friend. I was wrong for taking the advice of my attorney however he and Dr. Smith were supposedly good friends and worked well with one another. I will take fault now but at the time I was not thinking Dr. Smith would turn out to be the worst thing that ever happened to me. The 1st surgery he done was in January 2017 and the 2nd was mid February as he tried to attempt and repair the problems he caused while doing the initial surgery in late January. I am only stating the facts. I have changed as a person throughout this process and I was wrong with my intentions from our first meeting. My intentions were motivated by greed and it really cost me. I am doing better today but I will never be 100% again. Dr. Smith showed no feelings of any kind during my initial surgery or the attempted corrective surgery. It was near 1 year to the date of my last surgery by Dr. Smith that another neurosurgeon would even look at my case. The very 1st surgeon that examined me ordered immediate bed rest until surgery could be performed. I was reluctant even though I knew something was badly wrong and I did seek out another neurosurgeon's opinion who did agree with the 1st surgeon's outlook and recommended evasive action immediately. I would've never thought this when I first met Dr. Smith but maybe I would have if someone had posted a review such as mine. Like I said I am just stating the facts you make your own minds up concerning this mans integrity. read more
