I'm grateful for Dr. William E. Smith, He has helped me with the trouble I've had with both of my knees. He's always there when I need him and I would highly recommend him to any one with any type of problem with back, knees, etc. His staff is so friendly and help you get an appointment quickly. Dr. Smith takes time to talk to you and to make you comfortable and listens when you have a problem. I'm proud to call him my Dr.

His office is 99.99999999 precent of the time extremely late meeting your appointment time. It is like "o well", just have a seat for 40 minutes in the large waiting room, then another 30 minutes in an exam room before you see the doctor.

Dr. Smith is very easy to talk to and listens to what I have to say. He seems genuinely concerned about my problems with my shoulder. I would recommend him to any of my friends.
