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.

Best Dr. I have ever. Kind and compassionate.

Dr. Smith was a game changer for me. He gave me my life back (no pun intended). I was in constant pain for years but after my surgery I was a new man. Played 52 holes of golf in one day. Thanks Doctor

In 2001 I had surgery by an orthopedic surgeon in order to rectify sciatica pain that was getting progressively worse since 1996. After that surgery I had absolutely no relief. It was tolerable until 2005 when I was 21 and the pain became tremendously worse to the point where I could not stand without excruciating pain. I went to Dr. Maurice Smith at this point. He was very thorough with consultations and testing. What I liked the most about him was that he was not trigger happy with going to surgery as some surgeons can be. He was adamant for me to pursue less invasive options first. This is where he earned my respect. I was in so much pain and pleaded with him to perform the surgery because I was at the point of tears from the pain and had tried multiple things with no improvement over the last 9 years. Ultimately he agreed to do the surgery. After Dr. Smith performed the surgery it was like night and day and it has been 15 years now. I cannot recommend Dr. Smith enough. Thank you!
