Just had my first visit with Dr. Smith today. I have to admit I've been to a lot of orthopedics and he was the most informative, paid attention to everything that I was asking and saying, answered all of my questions in a way that I understood what he was saying gave me the list of options that I had and which ones he thought would be the best choice and the ones to stay away from at this point had a very good visit with him. Very pleasant, made me feel comfortable.

This was my first visit, and the environment was very professional and courteous from the front desk staff to the radiologist to the doctor’s assistant to the doctor, all helped to make my visit a wonderful experience. Dr. Smith was very patient in explaining in details what are some of the course of treatment for my arthritic knee , he even when as far as suggesting things that can be done and if those doesn’t work then our last resort would be surgery. I admire the fact that unlike others that I have seen who immediately suggested surgery he gave you options. This to me is putting the patient’s best interest first. I will surely be letting my primary care physician who recommended him know how happy I am with his care. Thanks Dr Spencer Smith and staff I look forward to your continued care in the future.Patient Submitted Review

I can not save enough incredible things about Dr. Smith. I've been in horrible pain for 5 and a half months due to a labrum hip tear. It took over my life, I barely left the house due to the pain and couldn't sleep through a single night. I saw another specialist who spent less than 5 minutes with me and really didn't pay attention to the level of pain I was in. Recommended a steroid shot (which didn't work) and then said "if that doesn't work, come back in 2 months and we'll discuss surgery." I so desperately didn't want surgery so I did everything possible not to, I started doing PT and Chiro twice a week, daily cold plunge, stretching and my PT work out 3-4 times a day. And things just kept getting worse. Eventually I couldn't leave the house and had to use pain killers (which I absolutely hate). I was in such a bad place physically and mentally, all the pain and inability to sleep for 5 months had really worn me down. I came to Dr. Smith for a second opinion in complete desperation... the entire experience was incredible. The intake process is SO thorough and asks so many questions to paint the full picture. Then when Dr. Smith came in, he was so kind and professional and spent like 20 minutes with us, never rushed me, asked thoughtful questions, dug deeper, and presented all my opinions. He ended up giving me a strong dose of anti-inflammatory and literally within 3 days I was making it through a whole day without pain and able to sleep through the night. The solution was SO simple, and all it took was a thoughtful and thorough doctor to see my pain and truly help me. So wild the different a GREAT doctor can make. I'd recommend Dr. Smith over and over and over again, he gave me my life back.rater8 Verified Patient

Dr. Smith and his staff were absolutely wonderful in performing both of me knee replacements. I was really nervous about getting my knees replaced from my military service and I was referred to Dr. Smith. This was one of the best recommendations the VA could have made.

First of all, I got to see Dr. Smith personally on this initial visit, unlike other doctors, that just send in an assistant, and you rarely even meet them. I can understand they are busy, and the need for assistants on follow up visits, but they should do the initial visit to introduce themselves and diagnose the problem. Dr. Smith is the exception, and took the time to listen to my concerns. Thank you!rater8 Verified Patient

I was in excruciating pain this morning and the doctor’s staff managed to squeeze me into their schedule today! For that, I am grateful. The doctor determined that my original hip replacement needed to be corrected. His very sweet and professional secretary Monica promptly scheduled my new surgery. Never did I realize this morning, when I woke up, that this whole process would be so easy. Thank you doctor Smith!Patient Submitted Review

I've had 1 right knee replacement with 3 revisions on the same knee, Dr. Spencer Smith has done the last 2 and only because I slipped and damaged the 1st revision he did. my recovery time was much less than the first 2 and I was able to bend my knee further in and out than my other knee surgeries.

1/12/2024 I had a telephone TeleMed visit with Dr. Smith following my January 8, 2024 visit with Dr. Palumbo. I wanted to review with Dr. Smith my situation with a failed total knee replacement outside of FOI because Dr Palumbo surgery dates were put into April 2024. I knew Dr. Smith was newer to the practice than the other surgeons as I did my research but my hope was high. Dr. Smith did not disappoint. He was extremely thorough and compassionate! . He had reviewed every report in my chart every image he took the time to listen to why I was suffering so horrifically with daily constant pain after five months of my initial surgery and two failed MUAs. He suggested a few more images and he said he could definitely do my surgery in February 2024. I’m looking forward to my.1/18/24 office visit with Dr. Smith. Monica was great as well. So far I am HOPEFUL AND CONFIDENT FOR ANSWERS!Patient Submitted Review

I went to the practice for a severe pain I was believe muscle related and had been bothering me for a couple of months but now seemed to be resolving. Because I didn’t consider it an emergency I opted for a regular appointment so there was a bit of an expected delay in being seen. I had had a total hip replacement in another state a year plus earlier, I just wanted some reassurance that my prosthetic hip was fine. Check-in was done online. The tech took me in early to get the necessary x-rays done so that the doctor could review them prior to seeing me. Dr. Smith was professional and friendly. He asked me about the history of the pain instead of just reading the record and proceeding. Dr. Smith also did a bit of a physical exam (almost unheard of in this day and age!!!) in order to determine exactly where the pain was located. He then reviewed and compared the hip radiographs of today with my photograph of the radiographs from last year’s exam at the other orthopedist (I didn’t think to have the images transferred) to ensure that there were no significant changes. And then Dr. Smith explained his diagnosis and provided some helpful non invasive solutions. What I didn’t tell him is that I am a retired veterinarian. He did everything that I would have done. Dr. Smith was thorough, he was patient, and he took the time to explain the problem and possible solutions/remedies. I was very pleased with the service I received and would definitely return if there are further or additional issues.rater8 Verified Patient

This doc rocks! As far as I'm concerned, Dr.Spencer Smith is a miracle worker. The first surgeon I was sent to at Fla. Orthopedic Institute took one look at my hip X-ray and flat-out said I needed to be seen by one of his partners who was far more skilled in dealing with my level of severity. While initially disappointed that meant a longer wait, I am now THRILLED with my total hip replacement!

Dr Spencer Smith is a genuine caring surgeon. He truly wants the best out come for his patients. I feel blessed beyond belief that Dr Seth Cooper highly recommended him to me for my hip replacement.

He's genuine and sincere which is just what the Dr ordered. I now have total confidence that I will become whole again. My situation is severe. I need two hip and two knee replacements.

Dr. Smith has restored my faith in the medical profession. In chronic pain and unable to move due to an arthritic hip for almost 4 years, I saw Dr. Smith when another doctor in my area said I needed a hip replacement but refused to operate. I decided to travel 1.5 hours to see Dr. Smith and was extremly happy that I did. He made me feel extremely comfortable and, after taking x-rays, ensured me that a hip replacement was the best choice. He explained the procedure, recuperation time, and physical therapy. Through it all, he made me feel that I would live with a lot less pain and regain my quality of life after surgery. In addition, his staff is very professional, helpful, and knowledgeable and helped me with insurance issues, referrals, etc. It's been 16 days since my surgery and I feel so much better, even before the surgery. Dr. Smith and his FOA team is the best orthopedic practice I have found. Again, thank you Dr. Smith.rater8 Verified Patient

I had been unable to walk for 20 months. Because of my history of back surgeries, every doctor I saw started from the back surgery angle. Dr. Smith was the first professional who asked me to "walk for him". After I walked for him he suggested an appropriate Xray. Bingo. With immediacy he said that he suspected that it was not my back, but rather my right hip. I returned with my Xray and he explained that I could opt for morning surgery and go home that night. My husband Michael and I were so relieved. Dr. Smith is a very special man. His bedside manner is beyond reproach. He is so confident, he allows patients to ask questions. He is as bright as a sunny day. Thank you for employing such a well rounded Surgeon. I ask everyone who will listen that if they ever need a new hip (or two), he is the Best.
