Edward Smith, MD

Dr.smith is patient and kind. The office staff was attentive and I didn’t wait long before seeing the doctor. From the moment he walked in I felt at ease.

He removed my herniated disc and I’m doing great. Couldn’t be happier

My arm pain went away after my neck surgery

Informative, Took the time to show me on my CT scan where the problem was and what he can do to fix it.

He preformed kyphoplasty surgery on 3 vertebra's. Everything went Great

Dr. Smith was kind and professional. I had severe pain before surgery. However, right after the laminectomy I felt relief. I definitely would recommend him .

My appointment with Dr. Smith proved to be one of the best interactions that I have had in my 25 years of wrestling with lower back pain and sciatica. His assessment of my condition and plain language feedback along with a well defined approach of treatment and follow-up left me feeling more informed and positive. I left Dr. Edwards office feeling confident that he had helped me by providing a regimen and medication for managing my back pain issues that would possibly preclude surgery. Results a week later: this is the best my back has felt in about 20 years.

I’ve just spoken to Sarah at Dr. Smith’s office. I’ve been referred to him because of cervical and lumbar scoliosis that is causing my neck to lie on my shoulder and I’m developing a curvature of my LS causing me to walk looking at the ground. I’ve got osteoporosis also. Sarah was a sweetie. She listened to my complaints and made me feel better already. I’m looking forward to seeing the Dt. Smith and I hope he can help me. I saw Dr Smith yesterday. He’s very knowledgeable and I have a lot of respect for him. He said my surgery was too extensive to be done in a community hospital like Rush and recommended University in Jackson or UAB. I’d already. He showed me my X-rays and explained everything going on and the problems I faced. I’d made an appointment for second opinion at UAB. He referred me to a surgeon at UAB and ordered a brace and physical therapy to aid in easing my discomfort until surgery is done. I appreciate his honesty and forthrightness. I only regret I he cannot do my surgery. I liked him. He’s very pleasant and intelligent. I’ll see him in 3 months for follow up and plan surgery in fall.

The staff was very professional and Dr Smith was great!

Dr.smith & his team are very responsive & very intune with the patient & family . They checkin with me the family every 30 mins to let me know how my wife sharon ianne is doing . They are very attentive. I highly recommend dr.smith .

I had lumbar laminectomy and discectomy from l4-s1 due to spinal stenosis and buldging discs that Dr. Smith preformed. Before surgery I could barley walk severe nerve pain and severe muscle spasms down both of my legs. He preformed surgery in Jan of 2020. It was the best decision I ever made and I would recommend him to anyone!!! Have full functionality of my legs and little to no pain!!! Thank you Dr. SMITH!!

I am about to undergo my 3rd surgery with Dr Smith.. I think he is an excellent doctor.. and very focused on what he does.. I will say that he lacks a little in bedside manner.. but he will answer any questions that you have for him.. he has always been kind and very honest with me.. and I appreciate that so much.. I wouldn't want any other doctor doing the kind of surgery that I have to have.. but him.. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a good doctor ❣️
