Dr. Dean W Smith

I went in for a consultation about what I thought was cysts on my hands. Turns out it was not cysts (X-ray confirmation). At the end of my appointment, Dr. Smith told me that my next steps would be to call and schedule surgery if that's the route I wanted to take, my choice. When I called to ask about insurance coverage for the surgery, Dr. Smith supposedly didn't make enough notes in my file to know how to 'code' my surgery so he requested that I needed to come in again. I am a teacher, our insurance is awful and I cannot afford to pay for another visit just for Dr. Smith to write 'codes' that he neglected to write down during my first visit. When I explained that to the secretary she didn't seem to care or want to even try to accommodate me. I am thoroughly disappointed because I actually enjoyed my first visit. I will be seeking treatment elsewhere.

Professional. Courteous and did awesome work with diagnosis and performing hand surgery.

The docter in his assistant were awesome they made me feel comfortable.Thank you ????

Dr. Dean Smith removed a large non cancerous tumor from our son’s finger 8+ years ago. I’ve recommended Dr. Smith to several friends and colleagues over the years. Great doc and team!

Dr.Smith is a great doctor. He addressed all my questions and was able to correctly diagnose me. His staff is amazing and knowledgeable as well. 10/10

Can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Smith. I had an emergency where I had cut my thumb off while out of town. ER where I was at just cleaned it up and sent me home. The next morning I was able to call and get an appointment within a few hours to go see Dr. Dean. He scheduled me for surgery and performed a flap and did a beautiful job. Great doctor.

I've only been a patient for a short time but Dr. Smith and his team are the ABSOLUTE best! He kind and very caring, he discusses the options with you in a way that makes you comfortable and answers any questions you may have. I have to admit I was scared to get a shot the other day and he assured me it would be fine seeing as how I am AFRAID of needles. He and his staff talked me down and made me laugh in spite of my nerves! I would highly recommend Dr. Dean Smith and his excellent team! You guys ROCK!!

Amazing doctor

I saw Dr. Dean Smith for pain under a fingernail that was not properly diagnosed for 15+ years. Dr. Smith performed surgery and pain is gone. Dr. Smith and his staff are very knowledgeable and professional. I had an excellent experience.

Great visit. Excellent staff - they were very kind, compassionate, and helpful. Dr. Smith was referred to me by my primary physician. He has the best bedside manner EVER. I was in pain and anxious, but he quickly put me at ease during the examination. He listened to my concerns and patiently answered all my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Smith to anyone in need of orthopedic care.

I tried to make appointment and the office stuff put me on a 30 minutes hold and eventually hang up on me

This doctor is one of the worst. He is in the WC insurance pockets. He has told me that my injury is in my head and that I dont need treatment. Not only that but made jokes about my brace and laughed. I when to a Designated doctor that did further treatment to find out I had nerve damage. When I told him about it he quickly said it wasn't causes by my injury. Please listen to your body and not doctor telling you there nothing wrong with you. This doctor is one of the worst.

This is disappointing to write because I went to Dr. Smith based on all of his glowing reviews. I had a bad fall on my shoulder at work and was in intense pain and could not raise my arm more than halfway. I brought my MRI to Dr. Smith and he had the nerve to tell me that my present condition was not caused by the fall, he said the MRI showed deginerative conditions on that shoulder from the past thus the reason for the pain and stiffness. Now keep in mind I am 49, so I asked Dr. Smith. if that’s the case why was my arm perfectly fine before the fall. He then proceeded to give me some story about the fall only aggravating what was already wrong. It’s obvious the insurance companies have him in their pocket. . Luckily for me I have a brother who is a radiologist, he and a orthopedic surgeon colleague reviewed my MRI and gave me a more accurate explanation. Careful, Dr. Smith is a very smooth talker, trust your instinct. This is all a shame because most people don’t have the finances to get a second opinion. Surgeons like Dr. Smith make enough money where they don’t have to be controlled by insurance companies, but I guess that’s life (greed). For anyone reading this don’t let a doctor intimidate you, if your body part was fine before the fall, don’t let a doctor fast talk you into believing the fall had nothing to do with your pain and misery.

I would like to start off by saying that Dr. Smith is a very professional and gentle doctor. I must say that I am a bit upset at the fact that I had made an appointment last year to have surgery on my trigger finger and I received a call days prior to surgery saying that they needed to re schedule me for one reason or another. I believe they said Dr. had an emergency, what ever the reason was it was not my doing. Today i attempted to make an appointment, finally found a time I could get this done. When I called to make an appointment I was told I needed to come in and re-do the paperwork, which ok I understand time has passed and that needs to be re done. What I don't agree with is the fact that I have to pay an office visit to do so. When I spoke to the treatment coordinator, she said that I was the one that canceled the appointment and that they had no record of them calling me to try and re schedule..........OMG that made me feel very uneasy and sad at the same time because I really like Dr. Smith. I cannot believe that He would let go of a good pt. over a $25 dollar copay. I don't want the $25 to be the reason why I choose to no longer go see him either. What I am having a hard time with is Knowing that they cancelled the appointment and that they do not have it documented as such..........:( I would like to start off by saying that Dr. Smith is a very professional and gentle doctor.

My Rheumatologist said I need to see a hand surgeon. The first person I thought of, Dr. Smith. Almost 2 years ago, he operated on my wrist and when I show everyone where it is suppose to be a scar, can't see anything. I truly hope he can help me again with my fingers.

This office is a little difficult to find because there is lots of construction nearby on 610. Also on the side street where you must enter the parking garage there are no addresse on the building. We almost parked in the wrong garage. It would be great to have a sign with address marked on all sides of the building. The office itself is located on the 2nd flr and has a large waiting room with complementary coffee, water and TV while you wait. There is plenty of space to sit and the office is very clean and comfortable. I did not have an appointment with Dr Smith but my relative did and I am posting this while I wait. I would feel comfortable seeing this doctor based on the experience so far. This office is a little difficult to find because there is lots of construction nearby on 610.

Although his staff was nice, he didn't give me the answers that I wanted and made me feel like it was my fault for my problem. I had surgery twice in my wrist and was still feeling pain and the first thing he did was tell me he didn't want to operate on my wrist, but gave me a brace instead. Which was fine, I wasn't walking in wanting surgery, but the brace alone cost $50 when I could have walked down the road and gotten one for half the price. Then I was told that I was going to more than likely have arthritis by the time I am 30 (didn't say what I can do to prevent it besides pretty much not using my hand? Which is almost impossible). I walked out of the doctor's office extremely depressed and even cried on the way home with the news he gave me, which has never been given to me by the 8+ doctor's I have seen. Not to mention that he charged my insurance company false claims. He put that I got surgery which was false, and that I didn't pay my copayment when I walked out of his office losing $95 from my wallet for his horrible services. Never again. This man wants your money, not to help you. Although his staff was nice, he didn't give me the answers that I wanted and made me feel like it was my fault for my problem. … More

This Dr deserves 100 stars! He has an amazing staff and his surgical talents cannot be beat. He has given me back the quality of life I feared was lost through age and injury. Thank you for everything Dr. Smith...YOU are the MAN!!!

Dr. Smith removed a large (and fortunately benign) tumor from my elbow. He is an excellent surgeon. I experienced essentially no post-surgical pain and I have the same full function of my arm and hand as I did before the surgery.

On march 30, 2018 a difficult circumstance presented in my life, I had cut my right hand. Loosing a lot of blood, my brother took me to the nearest emergency room. Which was a big mistake and a hard lesson learn in my part, that story is from a doctor with bad judgment. On April 11, 2018 my hand wasn’t getting better, stitched and in really bad pain, worried that I couldn’t use my hand. I started to look up hand specialist and ran across Dr. Dean Smith, I called and ask if I could set up an appointment to have my hand check. Great staff! Had my appointment on the same day. Had my X-ray done and told I had two flexor tendons cut. Not good news but know I knew what I was going through, Dr. Dean Smith check my hand and explain to me my options. Since being self paid, Dr. Smith gave me relief and hope to get my hand back to good. I appreciate that! Even better, surgery was done next day! Thank god everything went really great. With the professional work done by Dr. Smith and his staff. he was able to put me back together. Thank you Dr. Smith and professional staff. Recovery went great with his simple steps. Had my last visit today! May 21, 2018 with the news that I had recover well. Best birthday present ever! Dr. Smith I will always be grateful for your professional service, and thank god we have doctors like yourself. From a difficult circumstance in life, to a great relief in life. Even if it’s for a while but one thing is for sure, life is good and more when you find love to take care of yourself, so once again in my experience I had the best of chance with this wonderful staff.

Dr. Smith operated on my torn rotator cuff last fall. He is such a professional. My recovery was well managed and the outcome was great. His office staff is also so considerate and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Smith for all of the hand and arm issues.

Dr Smith was everything I was looking for in a doctor. The reason I was referred to him was that I was having shoulder pains. After X-rays and an MRI, and good news that he did not think my rotator cuff was torn, we tried injections. That did not help so we discussed and agreed to surgery for rotator cuff tendinitis, impingement sundrome of shoulder and osteoarthritis in the shoulder. After surgery and therapy I am much better. Due to my age, I will never be 100%, but I am happy with my surgery

Dr. Smith is smart, trustworthy, confident, reassuring, skilled and the most caring Dr. I've seen. I saw several physicians for my shoulder that kept telling me there was nothing they could do. Saw Dr. Smith who was confident he could solve the problem - and he did!

Dr Smith and staff was amazing. He have the best bed manners. My hand has no problem since my surgery. I recommend doctor Smith to anyone who need hand surgery

I took my 12 year old son in after a sports related wrist injury. The urgent care facility was not sure about the diagnosis . Dr. Smith diagnosed a wrist fracture. He was placed in a cast for three weeks and is doing great. The staff was very friendly. Dr. Smith's bedside manor was excellent. I would recommend this physician to my family and friends.

I couldn't ask for better doctor. Great experience, I highly recommend Dr. Smith.

I have been seeing Dr. Smith for over 10 years as a result of my Rheumatoid Arthritis. He has done surgery on both hands/wrists with EXCELLENT results. Has also treated both shoulders as well. He has always been very caring & explains/answers any questions I may have. Well worth the 90 mile trip, wouldn't go any where else. Dr. Smith is the BEST at what he does!
