After dislocating my shoulder playing with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2022 I had surgery with Dr. Smith. This allowed me to continue my professional hockey career and two years later I’m feeling strong! Thanks Doc.

Thanks, Dr. Smith for all your help at the end of my career with the Toronto Blue Jays. Without your help, and especially those injections I wouldn’t have been able to carry on for as long as I did!

Five-time MLB All-Star — Toronto Blue Jays

Dr. Smith has reconstructed not one but both of my ACL’s, allowing me to successfully play D1 NCAA volleyball (left knee) and return to playing professionally in Europe (right knee). I flew home specifically to have Dr. Smith and his team perform my second surgery, as there is no one else I would trust with my career.
