Dr. David Joseph Smith, MD

Excellent, dedicated knowledgeable service.

He did my right hip surgergery about 4 years ago. I was terrified but Dr. Smith and the anesthesiologist kept me calm and held my hand. I had anyetior hip surgery and healed fast. Ive bern trying to find Dr. Smith forever now and maybe i finally found him. But, no one answers the phone.

I needed a hip replacement in 2010, at 65 years of age. I researched types of surgeries and decided that the Anterior method was best, but found no surgeons in my state who would perform that type, so I looked elsewhere and found Dr David Smith in Illinois. He worked with me and my financial situation (MEDICARE the only insurance) and quoted me an amazing cost that blew me away! I watched his hip surgeries on YouTube, and had the surgery done in only one month from my first meeting with him. So, it’s 2019 and I have never had a problem.... most of the time forget I even had the surgery! People ask me about it, and it reminds me! I’m 74 now, and very active with 11 grandchildren who I can crawl around on the floor with, and chase balls around with... just very thankful. I recommend Dr Smith to anyone I meet who wonders. A good man.

After years of knowing Dr David Smith , and having surgery by him I would never recommend him to any one , he is a liar and literally walks away from his patients , Any physician that walks away from there practice and patients is a real piece of work , he and hi wife Dr Karen Spurgash both closed there doors on workers and patients with out a work

ONLY DR I KNOW BESIDES HIS WIFE WHO JUST WALKS AWAY FROM THERE PRACTICE AND LEAVES THERE POST OP PATIENTS WITH NO INFORMATION/ TAKES HIS HARD WORKING EMPLOYEES WITH NO JOB AND ALSO KEEPS THERE VACATION MONEY.

Dr. Smith performed my hip replacement surgery in Feb. 2017. From the first time I met him, he cared about me as a patient and explained throughly to me what to expect. He made sure that I understood everything that was going to happen and answered any questions that I would have. I was a little hesitant about havin the surrger, but after talking with him, I felt comfortable about have the surgery and it's the best thing that I could have done. After surgery and therapy, he made me feel comfortable about my rehabilitation and he made sure that I was not walking with a limp. Everyone that knows I had hip replacement, say that they can't tell. What a blessing...that was one of my concerns. I pray that I never have to get anotherhip replacement, but in case I do, I will definitely go back to Dre. Smith. Thank you Dr. Smith and keep up the good work.

I was under Dr. David Smith's care for a torn tendon. When I became discouraged thinking that I would never be healed, he encouraged me to continue therapy and the exercises. Well, he was right! The pain is gone and I now have complete range of motion. I was able to resume my work-out routine and golf again. Dr. Smith cares about his patients. Thanks Doc, for keeping me in the game!

very good doctor and surgeon. easy to talk to, does not have an attitude and will spend the right amount of time both listening and explaining your medical issue(s) i highly recommend Dr Smith .

Dr Smith fixed my knee due to a baseball injury. I was a catcher so my knees were very important. I was 19 at the time and my college physician was just saying cortisone cortisone injections. didn't help at all. so a friend suggested Dr Smith. to evaluate. Dr Smith was straight up and to the point said I needed a Lateral release on my left knee. I agreed. 1 day surgery. was back catching in 3 weeks. Had ML tryouts and played minor league with no issues. I'm 50 now and still playing softball with no knee issues at all. Thank You Dr Smith for making my dream come true.

He is very professional and caring. He performed arthroscopic shoulder surgery on me in 1989 that was very successful

I had a total hip replacement with Dr David Smith 5 1/2 years ago, and am very pleased with the care I was given and the results. I highly recommend Dr Smith.

Dr. Smith is very compassionate, knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.

I can not say enough about Dr. Smith! He is kind, caring and thorough. He replaced my right hip in 2014 and will be replacing my left hip in 2016. He is the best, I would not consider anyone else. He makes you feel comfortable from the first visit and explains everything to you in a way that you can understand. He takes a holistic approach and understands all concerns the patient may have.

Can't imagine anyone giving anything but 5 stars to Dr. David Smith! He deserves every award he has received. And it's all genuine, not just to get accolades!

Top Doc in all phases of orthopedic care

hip replacment- did exelent job! 4 years after feel like new born

Best review I can give, is the fact I've been pain free since surgery and rehabilitation and that was 8yrs ago.

I am a patient of Dr. Smith since 1986. I have had various injuries that needed casting and surgery. I don't believe any doctor could be more accurate in diagnosis and caring for the patient. He spends as much time with you as you need for understanding your medical needs and options.

Had anterior hip replacement 5 weeks ago. I am now pain free, walking without a limp and excited to get back my life. Dr. Smith is the most compassionate surgeon I know. As an RN who has worked with many physicians and surgeons, Dr. Smith is rated #1.

This Dr and his staff are horrible. They may seem all ready to help you but once your done, then they are done with you. They do not treat every patient as individual. His nurse Sharon is a horrible portray of what a nurse should be. If there is a problem you do not get to talk to the dr and instead she feels she can diagnose you over the phone. If you have pain that lasts longer than what she feels is the right amount of time than there must be something wrong with you. Save the emotional stress and find a dr with a very caring staff and is willing to treat you as an individual and not a text book case
