Dr. Eric Smith, MD

Dr. Smith, I have to say Thank You!!! Because you were booked up till Late September and I didn’t have an appointment with you, but you was in the building and you came to check on me, after another Doctor asked. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your kindness. Thanks Again

Dr. Smith was not rushed nor did he have the attitude that orthopedists in Delaware seem to have. He heard what I had to say, explained why I was getting varying information from the doctors I had already consulted, explained what to expect in the future and answered all of my questions. When I’m ready for a knee replacement, he’s going to be my first choice.

He takes the time to explain procedure, Great bedside manners personable and a very talented surgeon I highly recommend him.

He did a terrible job on my hip replacement. I am in excruciating pain every day, all day and night.

Dr Smith has done both my knees and my husband's hip. I can't say enough about his caring personality.

Dr Smith is a wonderful caring individual and an excellent surgeon. I received top notch care during and after my hip replacement.

He operated on me over 10 times. You could not find a more competent, caring and open surgeon. I have had over 45 operations including five joint replacements and a amputation due to MERSA.

Very kind and compassionate!!

I have known Dr. Eric Smith since 2009 when he replaced my wife’s right hip and immediately knew after that first meeting that he truly cared about his patients! Since this first office visit he has replaced replaced my wife’s left hip and both of my knees. Each time he explains what he’s going to do and what we should expect during our recoveries! While in the hospital he stopped by every day and checked on us. Since these surgeries he has always been available to answer questions and, when necessary, made a point to get an appointment. Because of Dr. Smith’s surgical skills and his personable demeanor, both my wife and I would highly recommend Dr. Eric Smith, MD!

Several nurse friends recommended Dr Smith after their own successful TKR. I found him to be very thorough, explaining the entire process, and answering all of my questions. He is an excellent surgeon and I couldn't be happier with my new knee. He gave me my life back!

Outstanding surgeon with pleasant manner. I have fully recovered from knee replacement (age 75) and have returned to playing Pickleball, had almost no pain after surgery. Highly recommend Dr. Eric Smith. Doing the exercises before and after surgery really helps getting back to normal.

Very thorough and professional.

Dr Smith is attentive, compassionate and professional. He has a lovely ”bedside manner”. He is reassuring and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone. His staff is top notch, as well.

Dr Smith is such a caring and considerate physician. He replaced by left knee 6 years ago and will replace my right this March. I trust him implicitly with my surgery. His skill is reknown at the institutions where he operates and his bed side manner is unsurpassed.

Highly recommend Dr. Smith. Takes the time to listen and answer all your questions. Will definitely tell friends and family.

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 performed a total hip replacement procedure for me in November of 2021. I am so thrilled with the outcome! Today was my 6 week follow up appointment. As always, Dr. Smith was informative, attentive and encouraging. Every encounter, to date, with Dr. Eric Smith has been a positive and pleasant experience. Four years ago Dr. Smith performed the same surgery for my husband and the results were also exceptional and long lasting. I would highly recommend Dr. Eric Smith for hip replacement surgery.

He’s a great surgeon. He did my left knee and will be replacing the right in a few months. He takes the time to explain everything to me. He is very caring.

Dr. Smith came highly recommended to me for my knee surgery. He has a very pleasant personality, answered all my questions and I never felt rushed. His team works so well together, his PA and his assistant and they are always doing what is right for the patient. I feel my concerns are always a priority to him. I give Dr. Smith 5/5 rating. Thank you.

Dr. Smith is very thorough in his exams and explanations of your condition and options. He speaks to you on a peer level and doesn't talk down you as a non- physician.
