Dr.Smith is the best. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in explaining patients questions thus putting them at ease. I am one of his patients that didn’t follow the guidelines of healing. I was trouble from the get go.Nine months later I’m beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now you make your choice of doctors like I did.Dr. Smith was by far the most qualified surgeon I could find.

Dr Mark Smith was so reassuring before I had my right shoulder replaced. I was worried I would lose some function in that arm. He talked to me frankly and reassuringly. Now, three months post surgery, I’m doing very well and the awful pain is gone. My arm works well.

Dr. Smith’s knowledge, compassion, and focus on my pain issues greatly aided in my recovery. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone with shoulder issues! Of course he is very busy and it takes a while to get an appointment. I believe it was worth the wait! Thanks to him I am back “in my game.”
