Dr. Robert Smith, MD

rushed through the appointment, not thorough

Always helpful. Takes pride in your recovery and well being. Did an excellent job on my knee replacement. No complications what so ever.

Dr. Smith did double knee replacement on me. I am 3.5 months out from my second one. I am now waking 3 miles three times a week. I could not do simple daily tasks before. So happy and pain free. I can’t thank him enough. He gave me my life back. :) He is truly a wonderful surgeon. So happy I found him.

Recently, after suffering an injury to my left knee, which required surgery, I was referred to Knoxville Orthopedic Clinic. There I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Robert Smith. This was my first visit to the clinic, and from beginning to end, the treatment I received was exceptional! All pre-op tests were scheduled promptly, as was my surgery. From check-in, to examination by Dr. Smith, to check-out, I never waited more than 10 minutes. But first and foremost, I would like to emphasize that Dr. Smith is an exceedingly personable, conscientious, skilled physician and surgeon. At each visit, he took the time to answer all of my questions without ever making me feel rushed. I was completely recovered just two weeks after my knee surgery, and had no complications whatsoever. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and his staff to anyone seeking EXCEPTIONAL health care!!

Dr. Smith is absolutely fantastic! He is thoughtful, very thorough, and made me feel very much at ease before, during, & after my surgery. I am thankful & grateful to have such a great orthopedic physician.

Dr. Smith operated on me, and did a complete knee replacement. The results have been excellent. I have found him to be a compassionate and caring doctor and person. He treated me for several years until I was ready to have the surgery.

Torn right rotator cuff (right) surgery in Nov 2018. Just got my 6-month green light. Super crew of people on this team and Dr Smith and all are most deserving of commendation. 5 stars

I spent 8 painful months limping on a knee with a torn meniscus because Robert Smith insisted my only problem was arthritis after I told him something had happened on a specific day and it had hurt consistently ever since. He insisted on one expensive treatment after another when I kept asking for an MRI. Finally, 8 months later, the MRI showed a torn meniscus. Dr. Smith doesn't listen and only seems to care about how much money he can get from you. Terrible, terrible doctor in my opinion.

Dr. Smith performed surgery on my teenage daughter who severed her ACL and damaged both of her meniscus. If you are debating whether or not to use Dr Smith, Im hear to tell you HE IS THE BEST. I know because this was the best decision i ever made for my Daughter. Dr. Smith did an excellent job and has been there every step of the way with my daughter, His performance, professionalism, and personal time he spent with the family and patient was superior to none. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. SMITH *****

Dr. Smith performed a patellofemoral ligament reconstruction on one of my knees. He made me feel at ease about the procedure both during the pre-op appointment and on the day of surgery. When there was an insurance technicality issue prior to the surgery, he called me personally to resolve it. I've been very pleased with the results. He did a great job on the incisions, and my scarring is minimal compared to what I anticipated. I highly recommend Dr. Smith for orthopedic care.

The arthroscopic knee surgery Dr. Smith performed for me was a success. The pain that had been interfering with virtually all of my activities is gone. Dr. Smith also took care to answer my questions about how to protect my knee in the future.

Dr. Smith is an excellent surgeon. He is patient friendly and made me feel at ease about my surgical procedure. I had total knee replacement surgery and after six weeks of therapy I am back to doing my routine jobs,etc.,including mowing the yard. I would highly recommend Dr. Smith and his staff to my family members and friends!

Great medical care , had both knees replaced . Excellent results and no issues for either surgery. Would recommend Dr Smith to anyone
