Dr. Eric B Smith

This team is an effective efficient compassionate n mindful group working better than a well oiled stainless steel machine. Dr Eric went into the process with details assured me of my success being tied to his skills n my commitment to do my work as diligently as he n his team. He acknowledged my weight loss as an asset an a reason to take on both knees if no challenges surfaces. Giving truth where necessary. Thx Doc!!

Dr. Smith is a very attentive and caring person. He showed me the X-ray pictures one by one and diagnosed perfectly with my condition. He spent a lot of time listening and answered my questions patiently. I have no doubt in my mind that I will have him do my surgery.

Great to work with, has done both hips, can’t get any better than this

From the first meeting with Dr Smith, my wife and I knew he was the right doctor to perform my hip replacement. Always courteous and professional. Listens and answers all your questions. Explained the procedure and expected outcome in detail. I especially liked having the ability to contact a member of the team if I had further questions or concerns. The outcome from surgery has been terrific. I’m back to enjoying an active lifestyle! Thank You Dr Smith!!!!

Doctor Smith was very informative about the surgery and the expectations after surgery. My results have been phenomenal and I would recommend Dr Smith to anyone

After seeing a Rothman ortho knee specialist (who was professional and kind) for several years, I was referred to Dr Smith (who was the exact opposite). I eagerly awaited discussing with him the plan to return to mobility in the sports I love. Rather than read my medical info he made many assumptions that simply were not the case. He was judgmental, rude and abusive. He did not know my medical history or review any of it with me. He simply told me my situation was my own fault and that I would end up a double amputee. He told me multiple times I needed to “knock it off”, with what I do not know. I assume he was again saying my weight and medical issues were a choice. He spoke to me with aggression, blame and verbally smacked me around with no compassion. I truly wish I had recorded the appointment. I paid a co pay to not be examined or even medically consulted. If he simply does not work with patients past a certain BMI that could have been stated before I exposed myself to his abuse.

Dr. Smith explained everything about my upcoming procedure clearly. He was professional and caring. Would recommend him highly

I brought my hard of hearing mother to Dr. Smith for a second opinion. He was dismissive of my mother and talked very loudly to her as if that would help her hear him better. We were in the exam room less than 10 minutes before he gave us a diagnosis that was exactly the same as the one we had already gotten from a Premier Orthopedics doctor. The only reason why we went here was because my mom's friend recommended Dr. Smith and it was "Rothman." What we got was arrogance and a complete waste of time and money.

He called three times to check if I was all right. I have never had a better experience with a doctor, the level of caring was truly outstanding. He also was totally patient and answered a multitude of questions; I could tell he is truly passionate about helping people get better. I had hip replacement surgery and now feel like a new person. He was so good that two of my friends switched to him as their orthopedic surgeon. I highly recommend him to everyone I know. Thanks Dr. Smith!

Dr smith performed a total knee replacement 18 mos ago on my knee. The results were awesome. I now have scheduled my other knee to be replaced. Surgery is scary however, I have confidence in this excellent experienced Dr. He gives you his undivided attention . many other friends have also had good results with knee replacement with Dr. Smith.

Dr. Smith replaced both my hips this year and he did outstanding work! Could not be happier with the results. I have recommended him to everyone who has issues with their hips.

Anyone who doesn't believe that Dr. Smith is wonderful probably would not have had a good experience with any other surgeon. You go into surgery knowing outcomes including the bad ones. This surgeon is outstanding as is his bedside manner. The wonderful outcome that I have enjoyed also is credited to the Physicians Care Surgical Hospital. The experience was seamless and flawless from start to finish. I could not be happier finding Dr. Eric Smith and for enjoying full range of motion in my right knee.

I suggest finding a good surgeon, Smitty is not a good surgeon.

After discovering a misdiagnosis that left me in severe pain and on opioid medications for many months, Dr. Smith surgically corrected the problem through a hip replacement, eliminating the pain and restoring my mobility. He is not only an excellent surgeon, but he also takes the time necessary to explain what is going on, and he is a fine human being.

Great outcome. Talented and caring surgeon. Could've ask for a better experience.

Dr. Smith is so very patient in allowing the patient to share all of their concerns. He never rushes me and is very thorough in reviewing all test data. I had a hip replacement 6 years ago and am now doctoring with degenerative knees. I can not even tell that I have had a hip replacement. After going to him for advice after coming to a halt with treatment with a sports related physician, he presented a slightly altered treatment which has been working to maintain these knees. Dr. Smith is concerned with all of my skeletal issues and does not just focus on the one joint which caused me to see him initially.

Dr. Smith is extremely professional in his approach, didactically speaking on a comfortable of understanding. Very much pleased with his no-nonsense, and honest approach to vitals areas of understanding.

Dr. Smith made me feel very confident to go ahead with my surgery. He answered all of my many questions and made me feel comfortable with his skill as a surgeon and caring personality. Followup has been as positive!

Friendly, concerned, competent

Dr Smith is the most talented and skilled doctor who really cares about his patients. I can't believe we actually found him!
