Dr. Smetanas nurse did everything right down to the exam. She was awesome. I’ll give five stars to her. Dr. Smetana never introduced himself, said maybe ten words opened the door and left. Not personable at all. He needs to work on his people skills. Two stars for him.

Dr. Smetana listened attentively to my concerns and was very cordial in his response. He and I discussed future treatment options and I appreciate the way I was treated by both he and his assistant, Hannah. She was very good in administering a cortisone injection. My aching thumb already feels better, just a few hours after the injection. Thank you, Dr. Smetana and Hannah! Well done.

I was impressed with Hannah The, physicians assistant, and with Dr. Dr Smetana. They both did a very good hands-on assessment and then he talked with me about what he thought. My problem is and what test he’s going to do first and then go from there.

He operated on a compound fracture of my wrist. He did an excellent job and very good at explaining about my surgery with my husband after a three hour surgery. I was so blessed to have him as a surgeon in my emergency situation that day.
