Patient Reviews

I had bilateral knee replacement with this surgeon. I cant say enough good about him or his staff. Highly recommend

Dr. Smith is professional, courteous, concerned, approachable and intelligent. I met Dr. Smith because I needed hip replacement surgery. I was 46, in a lot of pain; 8 on a scale of 10. In our first meeting, he confidently suggested a minamally invasive anterior approach to my hip surgery. Taking time to explain the device to me. I had zero pain post surgery. I has been a year, and I live pain free. He returned me to my life as I knew prior to hip pain. I work out, spin, walk for miles and swim.

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 in 2019 at BI was the worst medical experience of my life. I rate my second knee replacement 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 successful 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. That said, I was not denied the refills I needed for successful physical therapy. Physical Therapy - I would not consider knee replacement surgery unless you commit to P.T. My knees will never be like my young knees, but I do not have pain when doing stairs, walking the dog, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Eric Smith and the New England Baptist Hospital

I had bilateral knee replacement by this surgeon recently. I cant say enough good about him or his staff. Highly recommend
