Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very good diagnostician. Personally available post op for questions. Calm and reassuring ,and honest about potential outcomes of surgery.

Dr. Smerek was friendly and extremely insightful about our daughter’s injuries. He brought up specific things about movement in different sports and how that was impacting the injury. We’ve gotten more out of our visits with him than hours spent with other specialists in Northwest Indiana. Highly recommend!!

Had Achilles tendon detached from heel with partial bone/bump removal and subsequent re-attachment. Surgery in 2014 and happy to say I've been pain free since recovery and resumed normal cardio exercise and other activity without issue for 3+ years now. Very pleased with the diagnosis, treatment options and risks presented and final outcome of the surgery.

I have suffered with Achilles pain for about ten years. Went to physical therapy a couple of times with no help. The first time I went to Dr Smerek he knew exactly what the problem was. It was a nerve in my foot that was causing the pain in my ankle. He gave me a cortisone injection and I have had no more pain. He is a great doctor with a wonderful bedside manner.

Had complications from surgery done by Dr. Smerek. Knowing this, he continued to pass me around to other doctors in his office and himself without trying to solve what the problem was. He acted like I was faking and making it up until EMG and MRI came back. He may be highly regarded, but I would never recommend him to anyone I care about.
