Patient Reviews
Oct 17, 2024
I was just at my 3 month visit for my left hip, Dr Smidt also did my right hip. I had so much pain in both hips it was pretty bad. I had trouble walking very far, getting into a bath tub, just everyday tasks I needed to do. After my right hip surgery, my leg had no pain like before. I couldn’t wait to have my left hip surgery. The surgery went just as well. I feel Dr Smidt is a great Dr. He treats you with respect answers your questions patiently, and he has a great bedside manner. I would certainly recommend him to everyone.
