From knee scopes to com­plex hip revi­sions, my years of expe­ri­ence unique­ly pre­pare me to under­stand my patients’ con­cerns. Coun­sel­ing patients and their fam­i­lies on treat­ment options to ensure the best, least inva­sive treat­ment is my pri­or­i­ty. My train­ing at Mayo Clin­ic has put me at the fore­front of inno­v­a­tive tech­niques. I use the most advanced tech­niques in hip and knee surgery includ­ing the min­i­mal­ly inva­sive direct ante­ri­or approach hip replace­ment tech­nique, com­put­er assist­ed anatom­ic knee replace­ment and out­pa­tient total joint replacements.

"Dr. Smith was amazing! He came highly recommended by several people I know who are also extremely happy with him. He was calming, patient and explained things so that I could understand what was going on. He was took his time and made me feel like I was his only concern at that time, I never felt like he was rushing through to get to the next patient. I felt like I was his priority which to many doctors do not do. I am extremely happy."
