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.

Great doctor
This was my first time visiting Dr. Smith. He listened patiently, never made me feel rushed and adressed all of my questions and concerns thoroughly. Great visit, wonderful caring doctor.

My Excellent Surgical Experience
Thank you for the reassuring attitude, the suave attentiveness, the sense of humor, the thorough explanations, and technical expertise. Dr. Smith your team there at Mallard Creek Surgery Center cared for me in a compassionate and respectful way! My appreciation to the kindness of Pricilla and Patty who prepped me. You guys are a fun and competent complement to one another. Tom, Thank you for helping me to feel like I had a reassuring friend close by! Thank you to Molly for your sweet demeanor in explaining use of all of the equipment I would be dependent on at home immediately post surgery. Dr Shook, I appreciate you and your calming words of encouragement. Your words gave me a grand psychological peace before going in to surgery. I felt safe under the care of you and your CRNA. Dr. Smith , Thank you for your professionalism! , your astute skill, and summary with my wife that has helped me in expectations post surgically. Your team is an excellent balance of fine people.

Couldn't be happier!
Dr. Smith did bilateral knee replacement for me on March 28th. I couldn't be happier with the surgery experience or the results. I am still in PT but walking without assistance or pain. Everything about the procedure went as well as I could imagine.

I saw Dr Smith about my knee this week. I knew that surgery was probably going to be the result so I had a lot of questions. He was patient and answered all of my questions and told me what my part in healing would be. I have to stop smoking to aid in healing- cold Turkey. Wish me luck :)

Dr. Smith is a wonderful surgeon. He is incredible , he is comfortable to speak with at every appointment,explained everything to me in very clear manner. It's rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding medical care. He was referred by general doctor and can see why. Highly recommended.
