“Invasive surgery does heal back pain.”

Dr. Dean Smith is a surgeon with a kind and listening heart. He not only heals the back with surgery, he understands the pain his patients have with back pain. He knows what he is doing and explains what will happen before, and after surgery. The healing is faster due to the robotic surgery. I am so happy the surgery has eased the back pain. The office staff is friendly and professional at all times. I highly recommend Dr. Dean Smith for back surgery. Columba Valles

Dr. Smith is up front and honest regarding all your options before surgery, you don't feel pressured into a commitment. My overall experience with Dr. Smith and his staff has been GREAT

“dr smith and staff are always ready to help in every way I love this office i wouldnt change doctor or office”

its always a great experience

“wonderful”

surgery went very well. never experience pain or disconfort. very please with the results.

“Totally pleased with my care from this staff and doctor.”

First, from my first appointment with Dr. Smith he listened to my concerns. He gathered information from my previous records, current x-rays and listening to my past/present experiences. I was so pleased that he never pushed for surgery as that was my last choice yet never stated it. After there was no other option he suggested that it was time for surgery. He spoke to my daughters before the surgery in length and made them feel at ease about his expertise. The surgery went well and each follow up visit with Dr. Smith was as comfortable as my first. I thank Dr. Smith for giving me back the overall physical ability to do everything I used to do before. He and his staff have been so kind, professional and have made themselves available for any questions/concerns I had. Finally, I must add that I missed my recent appointment due to my own fault and both the staff and Dr. Smith adjusted their schedule to see me (who does that now days)! Rebecca T. Orozco

“Very happy with the work!”

I'm a musician and had a hard time making it through a one hour gig before my surgery. At three months out I was able to play for a six hour gig with no issues. I feel great! Dr. Smith is always friendly and takes the time to listen and discuss options and concerns. His office staff was great working with me to help get my insurance to approve the surgery as well.

“Perfect experience”

I feel like a new man. I have no pain and I feel 100 percent well. I completely recommend this doctor.

“best dicision ever”

dr smith did a fusion on lower spine. no more burning down my legs....now moving on to cervical. highly recommend dr dean smith

“Dr. Smith and his employees are very patient and courteous.”

Dr. Smith is a true professional! He is efficient, pleasant and easy to talk to, he takes an interest in what the patient has to say.

“perfect”

very caring

“Very happy with staff and surgeon”

I am very happy with surgeon. He explains everything clearly.
Listens to his patients and you can trust in his decisions on your surgery.

“Great recovery”

The surgery was amazing as well as the recovery. The home care that I received was just great it made my recovery that much easier. I will recommend Dr, Smith to everybody is great.

“LC surgery”

Good experience.

“Dr Smith is a WONDERFUL doctor. We highly recommend him.”

Dr. Smith is an excellent surgeon. I needed to have an emergency back surgery (lower lumbar fusion), and Dr. Smith was there every step of the way. He kept my family and my primary doctor informed before, during and after surgery. He made himself available. He visited me at the hospital, and he made me feel at ease. He also provided great care after surgery, and it is remarkable how far I have come at the age of 67. To illustrate how grateful we are to Dr. Smith, it was through a post follow up test that a tumor was detected in my lung. Thank God it was in stage 1, and five months later I was having another major surgery to remove the tumor. But I am blessed to be here and recommend Dr. Smith. We wholeheartedly thank Dr. Smith and his staff for their care, and for taking away the pain. May God bless you.

“gave me clear explanation of the surgery”

good explanation overall. very satisfied with the surgery

“Great Dr experience!”

Dr Smith sits down with you and actually listens to your story. It is a rare experience in the medical world. And...he fixed me on top of all that good care too.

“Awesome surgical experience”

The best positive experience and results. Dr. Smith is the greatest doctor in the world. He gave me my life back by helping me with the horrible pain I was experienc

“5 stars all around”

I came is with pain of the lower lumbar, after the 8 weeks post surgery the pain is gone. I was taken good care of and home therapy. I listened to all instructions and wound care doctor gave me. I am walking fine with no pain and no assisted devise ie. cane.
I recommend Dr Dean Smith for lower back surgery.

“a successful procedure, excellent Doctor”

i received a diagnosis that was accurate, and Dr Smith efficiently scheduled the procedure. I was off pain medication in about 8 days, and I can tell my back is much better and the nerves that were compressed are active once again. I am very pleased with the results so far, and Im excited to know my left leg will be be be strong and active again.

“On My Way Back to Normal”

After PT and pain management treatments were not effective in relieving my back pain, I consulted with Dr. Smith along with two neurosurgeons to explore surgical options. Though I felt that any of the three would do a competent job, Dr. Smith went out of his way to support me in my decision-making process. He was very responsive when I had questions. I compared his minimally-invasive approach to the traditional open surgery the other two were proposing, and the result has been amazing. At my 2-week post-op follow-up, I have still some soreness as expected but by and large I am back to "light duty" around the house, taking walks, etc. There are no signs of the pain I had prior to the surgery, and as the discomfort from surgery fades, I look forward to returning to doing the things that my pain was preventing me from doing.

“I am blessed to have Dr. Smith do my surgery.”

I am feeling very good after my operation feeling no pain and following the doctors instructions of exercising post surgery.

“Great”

I was in extreme pain daily, I'm so thankful for the doctor able to help, but was always so involved in everything . I had major surgery in my neck disc replacement . I would recommend it to anyone came to my 2 week post op app today and I can feel the huge difference in pain and healing well! Thank you Dr.Smith

“amazing results”

“I just love the quality of care he gives you. Excellent”

From my very first visit to the present Dr. Smith has not let me down. He sits down with you and explains in detail what is going on with your spine issues. He sits down with you and gives your plan, assessment and diagnosis personally. You never leave his office without understanding what your spine problems are.. He always invites to any questions you have about your spine problems.

So glad and fortunate to have has Dr. Smith as my provider. Feel 100% better after procedure. I was definitely in good hands.

“Excellent Doctor and Excellent Experience”

Dr. Smith performed an ACDF at the C5, 6, and 7 area. I was extremely nervous about doing it, especially during Covid. I texted him with a lot of questions, before and after the surgery; he always answered. I am so happy I got it done. The intense and constant pain I had in my neck is gone, the pain in my arm is almost gone and is getting better every day. I am moving and extremely active and I often forget, I had this surgery less than a year ago. I had many different medical professionals ask me who did the surgery and every time they heard it was Dr. Smith, they would say he is the best in El Paso. I do agree! Seeing the X-Ray months later, it is still showing progress with clear definition that the surgery was done with expertise. He is a very nice man and very easy to talk to. After 30 some years of dealing with this pain, I finally have relief!

“Excellent experience pain gone almost immediately doing well.”

This was my third surgery with Dr. Smith. I have quite a bit of confidence in his surgical skills.

He takes his time making sure you understand, provides visual explanations, and answers all your questions.

“The absolute best back doctor I've ever visited”

I've lived with severe lower back pain for many years after my 27 years of military service. I came to Dr Smith and he told me about a procedure he could do to fix my back. I was skeptical because I'd seen many doctors and therapist and nothing they did help but after praying about it I decided to have to surgery. I am two weeks after my surgery and my lower back feels amazing, for the first time in decades my back doesn't hurt. Dr Smith is incredible and the only doctor that was able to fix my back. Thank you so very much.
