Patient Reviews

Dr. Smith convey both his confidence and caring despite being a very busy surgeon. He replaced my knee in September and a month later I am doing so well and out of pain other than a few tinges now and then. The whole hospital and his team are behind this effort and help to create knowledgeable and helpful support. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and New England Baptist Hospital.

On October 25, 2019, Dr. Smith literally changed my life. My right knee was such that no orthopedic surgeon on the Cape would touch it. The joint was completely out of joint & walking was becoming extremely difficult. He took me on as a patient when no one else would and gave me a result that was a near miracle, and took care of me like I was his favorite aunt.

Luckily enough to have been treated by a kind and caring Man. Dr. Smith’s demeanor full with kindness, empathy and compassion will forever remain a cherished memory while enduring some difficult periods in my lifetime… Thank You Kindly Doc.. My Best Regards Brett Sobkowich

Dr Eric Smith has replaced 2 hips for me and a knee at different times in the past few years
He is awesome . I am walking 3-5 miles a day . I tell everyone he is the best !!!!

Dr. Smith performed hip revision surgery, and discovered cobalt and chromium in my blood. The surgery was successful. He not only got rid of my pain, but he possibly saved me from liver damage and going blind. Great to communicate with and listened to my concerns. Knows his stuff!!

Dr. Eric L. Smith of NE Baptist Hospital was my surgeon for my 2nd total knee replacement. It’s been a year since my successful surgery.. I am so grateful to him, his office staff and the Baptist Hospital team. My first knee replacement at BI was the worst medical experience of my life. I rate my success on these factors: Dr. Smith is a skilled surgeon. We met, I explained my fears, he took a lot of time and talked about how my surgery would go. I opted for the Conformis Knee which is a custom knee molded to your leg. It made a HUGE difference in my l recovery . It’s marketed towards athletes, but I notice a big difference when I compare my knees. Pain Management - The opioid epidemic has forced docs to cut way back on pain meds. I believe the pendulum has swung too far in the current direction, but I was not denied refills I needed for successful physical therapy. Physical Therapy - I wouldn't have the surgery unless you commit to PT. THANK YOU Dr. Smith

It's been five years since Dr.Eric Smith replaced both my hips and I haven't had any issues since, I highly recommend Dr.Eric Smith to everyone.
