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.

Dr. Smith is an excellent orthopedic doctor. He is very knowledgeable and is very patient and helpful. He cares about his patients. I wouldn’t let anyone else work on me.

I do and will always recommend Dr. Smith!
I saw an Orthopedic Doctor in El Dorado about my shoulder. He did an X-ray and said it wasn’t fractured and sent me on my way. Over time my shoulder kept getting worse and after 3 years of pain I was finally referred to Dr. Smith. He ended up doing rotator cuff surgery, which he did a wonderful job on. Than he started me on physical therapy for 6 months and no problems since.

I went to see Dr. Smith for my right leg. I had swelling and pain in my knee. I’m feeling much better and most of my swelling is gone and I am walking better. I’m praying that the shot took care of the problem permanently.

A great visit. The doctor was very nice, did not seem to be anxious to get the v isit over. He explained the X-Ray and spoke in a way that I could understand. He was a delight and I will certainly recommend his services.

Dr Smith is amazing, he is thorough with his examination, explanation, and then let’s you help determine the treatment plan. I would recommend to any of my family or friends for care in upper extremity or knee concerns! I have seen him for multiple injuries and will not be seeing a different orthopedic physician unless absolutely necessary.
