J. Steve Smith, MD

Dr. Smith is a true miracle worker. He repaired both rotator cuffs (not at the same time) on my shoulders. One was nearly severed and irreparable but he was able to save my shoulder and I avoided a total shoulder replacement. He is an absolutely amazing, talented surgeon. I have been a patient of his since 2011.

My son and husband both have had surgery from Dr Steve Smith and we highly recommend. Excellent.

Dr Smith repaired my shoulder back in 2009. He's an amazing surgeon. I was very happy to know that he also works on knees as I have bone on bone arthritis in my left knee. His treatment and guidance have been the greatest. He is very highly recommended!

I am a 67 year old woman who's had reverse shoulder replacement by doctor Smith. I have had only pain of a 1 or a 2 on a scale of 10. My recovery has been fast and awesome! Dr. Smith always takes time to listen to me and I think he's an excellent surgeon! I highly recommend him!

Dr. Steve Smith is an excellent surgeon and brings experienced skills that greatly benefit his patients. Every part of the surgical process was in place to assure a healthy outcome for my shoulder replacement. The bonus is that he also is very kind and helps you understand every step needed in your surgery and recovery. I recommend him without reservation.

I ultimately had a reverse shoulder replacement. My insurance at first would not approve. Dr.Smith took care of it. He arrived early on surgery day to answer all questions. Follow up visit was great. He seems to care about his patients and is honest about the difficulties in recovery. If I had it to do over again wouldn't change a thing, except do it sooner.

Dr. Smith is very professional and knows his stuff. Gives every appointment 100% and has a positive attitude while doing it. I had a total knee replacement and was scared till Dr. Smith assured me it will go fine. Dr. Smith is a good doctor who cares about his patients.

I absolutely love Dr. Smith! I met him when he operated on my husband's torn rotator cuffs (both....but at different times). When I began having trouble with my knees, I naturally began seeing him as a patient myself. He has operated on my torn meniscus and will be replacing my knees in the near future. He is nothing short of awesome and exhibits all personal characteristics of a friendly, caring medical professional. His staff is equally wonderful and friendly as well. <3

I highly recommended Dr Smith. He performed surgery on my elbow three years ago and it healed beautifully. He is very personable and has a great sense of humor and put me at ease because I was very frightened of having surgery. I recently went to see him about my rotator cuff and once again he was spot on with his easy manner and professionalism.

Dr. Smith is a highly skilled, humanistic physician. He performed a manipulation under anesthesia on my shoulder that was frozen. My physical therapist says during the first week post procedure that I am doing better than most patients just after the procedure. I firmly believe that this is due to Dr. Smith and his expertise.

Dr. Smith is an amazing doctor and is very personable. When having surgery not only do you want someone who’s great at his profession but also easy to talk to. I would highly recommend him as a physician.

Dr. Smith is great. This visit was due to some irritation in my shoulder injury after making a move, and after examining me, we decided on a treatment. I would recommend Dr. Smith, he is very thorough, professional and has a great personality.

Dr Smith performed rotocuff surgery on both my right and left shoulders. Also on my wifes left shoulder with the same results, excellent. He is very personable and professional takes time to explain any concerns answers any questions and offers alternate means of treatment, not just surgery.
My wife and I both highly recommend Dr. Smith

I highly recommend Dr. Smith. After leaving my appointment I felt cared for. He answered all my questions and concerns. I felt relief too, not only because of the cortisone shot but because of future treatment he recommended. Thank you Dr. Smith!

Dr. Smith repaired my shoulder . It is early in the recovery process, but I am very pleased. He also repaired my husband's shoulder today. He is very well known for shoulder rapair. He has great bedside manner. The office runs very smooth. The. billing office is there, and the practice has their own physical therapy practice in the office.

Dr. Smith and his staff were wonderful. Dr. Smith repaired my torn meniscus and my pain has subsided. He did a great job of taking the time to walk me through the procedure and recovery. I would highly recommend him.
