Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The best of the best!
Dr. Smoot had already performed surgery on my foot, so I knew him to be an excellent doctor. I scheduled an appointment for a different problem, and he took the time to carefully explain condition and diagnosis, including various options. He is thorough, professional, kind, and extremely likable – I would not hesitate to see him again, and I would recommend him on a heartbeat.

A doctor who listens!
Saw Dr. Smoot after 1.5 yrs of serious pain and a large bump on the back of my heel - which no one else understood. Dr. Smoot recognized a large bone spur and torn achilles that required surgery. I've had zero pain since. He listens, asks detailed questions, and takes the time to help his patients.

Very good experience
Dr. Smoot came highly recommended. He has answered every one of my (sometimes ridiculous) questions very patiently about upcoming surgery to my foot. Explained everything at my level and clearly. Feel confident about having him do the surgery. The staff is so professional and kind too. The surgery scheduler JayLynne is the best! Tx Orthopedics has an exceptional reputation.

Thorough and Thoughtful
Dr. Smoot is great! After almost a year of issues where nobody could figure out why I had chronic swelling- he found infections. His PA Lauren and office staff including Jaylynn are always enjoyable to see.

Dr Smoot has been treating injuries to my left foot and ankle since I took a tumble down a staircase over a decade ago. I trust his judgement and he is a great surgeon.

Excellent doctor & total experience k
Dr Smoot is a lovely person & doctor. He listens very carefully, examines thoroughly, explains well (showing you your Xrays, never talking down to you), and entertains questions and special requests. He does not race to surgery, suggesting less aggressive options if possible. Office ran efficiently, with very little waiting. A great find for knee, ankle and foot issues.

Complex Achilles Tendon Rupture Repair Surgeon
Dr Smoot came highly recommended by an ER Doctor who's my neighbor. I am an active 61 yr old male. I alpine ski. I own 50 heavily wooded acres in Pennsylvania with brother. I am a steward (labor and treasury) of this land. My legs and feet are critical tools. Dr. Smoot understood my activity level and tailored surgical techniques suited for my lifestyle. I had to have a second surgery due to my aggressive timeline to return working the land up north. Because of Dr Smoot's expertise and his caring clinical staff I am recovering well. Strength is returning and I expect to be back to 90%, by the fifth month after the second procedure. My wife and I are extremely grateful for Dr. Smoot's tenacity and skill implementing a robust repair to my tricky achilles tendon. His facility, Texas Orthopedics, provided close quarter physical therapy giving me confidence I will be my old self as before accident. I highly recommend Dr. Smoot as a caring professional with first class skill set.

Highly Knowledgable
Dr. Smoot helped my dad back in 2013, so when I had knee issues in 2017 and again recently, I was confident he could help me too and he has. He takes the time to listen to your symptoms and to discuss treatment options/results during appointments. The nice thing is, I never feel rushed and he is also quick to answer messages when I have a follow up question. His staff is also knowledgable about scheduling and procedures, clearly having worked well together for a long time. I highly recommend Dr. Smoot and trust in his expertise.

Excellent Communication
Over the years I’ve had several surgeries by Dr Smoot. The staff (office, nurses, schedulers, etc) are always pleasant. Dr Smoot is a shining star. Communication and options are consistently clear, he takes the time to fully explain things, and seems to truly care at each visit. Would not consider seeing anyone else. Very impressed.

Excellent Surgeon
Dr. Smoot performed surgery on my left foot almost 20 years ago. It was a very successful surgery. Totally trust him and his expertise to operate on the other foot now. I know I should have had it done sooner- but you know…. Life! Highly recommend Dr. Smoot.
