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 -

Dr. Smith performed hip revision surgery on 12/11/23. He not only got rid of my pain, but discovered that I had cobalt and chromium in my blood. He quite possibly have saved me from liver damage and from going blind. He listened to my concerns and has excellent bedside manner. Knows his stuff!!! -

Dr. Smith not only performed revision hip surgery, but discovered that I had colbolt and chromium poisoning in my blood possibly saving my me a lot of pain and issues later in life. I am now without pain in my hip and will live a lot longer. Dr. Smith listened to my concerns and had excellent bedside manner.
