This has been the best experience in knee replacement I have had---which is the second replacement by Dr. Joel Smith. His staff is so professional and they never forget to return a call. The care and facility at Arkansas SurgicaShow morel Hospital was beyond good. It was great! The nursing staff was truly at your beck and call. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and the surgical team at Martin Orthopedics. Dinah McCord
I was seen in the office today by Dr Martin’s PA, Hannah. Prior to my PRP injection the staff made X-rays and verified that my knee had not progressed to the point that the PRP injection was not recommended. After viewing the X-Show morerays I concluded that I did opt for the injection and the procedure was performed in a timely and professional manner.
