Patient Reviews
Oct 08, 2019
I would highly recommend Dr Smith if you need a hand surgeon. He is very personable, yet professional. He recently did a hand surgery for me a few weeks ago. I had the same procedure done earlier this on my right hand by a different doctor. Dr. Smith’s procedure was awesome. My recovery time was about half of the other procedure, the method he used to operate was less invasive, and his follow up for PT was timely.
