Dr. Matthew Vernon Smith

First and foremost, Dr. Smith is an exceptional surgeon. Along with that, he makes sure all of your questions are answered, and is very caring and compassionate. He deserves more than 5 stars in my book!

Dr M Smith is professional and informative. His explanations and advice for management of my problem were clear and helpful. And he was personable and funny. Immediate surgery is not indicated; I understand expected next steps and when to contact him. I strongly recommend him as a physician.

My daughter who is a competitive gymnast has seen Dr Smith due to shoulder injuries. He has the best bedside manner of any physician I have seen for my family’s care. He speaks directly to my daughter and respects her opinion and desires when it comes to her treatment options. He also is just an overall, very nice guy. I highly recommend him for all of the athletes in your family!

Under the challenging conditions necessitated by the pandemic, the entire staff, from the front-door screeners, to the office staff, medical assistant, rad tech and Dr. Smith were professional, friendly and caring. I felt very safe and well taken care of.

Had my ACL replaced and meniscus reattached. I was back up and moving within a few days. He had been a great Dr and the entire team there has been great as well. I highly recommend Matthew Smith and so the rear people at Wash U Orthopedics. Had my ACL replaced and meniscus reattached. I was back up and moving within a few days.

Great visit, with Dr. Smith, I felt very secure with his knowledge with what was going on with my knee, he gave me great options to consider. I felt I was in great hands.

Great surgeon. Answers your questions and explains everything so you will understand it. Great bed side manner. I told him that he needs to be just a Family Practice doctor. Would love to have a primary doctor like him. I can't say enough good things about him.

Dr. Smith did my MPFL reconstruction and loose body removal. He genuinely cared about how my knee was and how I was.

Dr Smith is an amazing doctor with great bedside manner. He seems to truly love his patients and is very gentle and fun loving

Definitely liked him before I had my surgery but after meeting a lot of the staff and him afterwards, I will definitely not be coming back or seeing him again. At the end of one of my appointments, he said to me, 'Oh and tell your mom hello in a very condescending, malicious, and sexual tone.' I hope he understands that his career is in jeopardy and he pays for his mistakes. This is not the first time I was have been disrespected having surgery at WashU. The first time I had surgery, they experimented on my shoulder but filling up balloons and then popping them while my fingers were in a hole. The second time I had surgery, I woke up half way through and the lady said, 'You are way too small to play football.' Then, the anesthesiologist said, 'Can you hear her?' I replied with, 'Yes.' He responded with, 'Oh, ok, go to sleep.' I also shadowed a surgeon there and witnessed some disgusting comments while 'attractive' women were their patients. I HIGHLY recommend not having your parents, kids, and especially daughters work or have surgery at WashU.

Dr smith helped not only get back into biking and soccer, but he knew that I needed to get back to work. I work a physically demanding job for the railroad , and was skeptical I'd be back at 100 percent within the time period . From a broken tibia and torn lateral and medial meniscus , to riding 10 miles a day and hitting spikes within a month and a half of surgery . Thanks dr smith!

Excellent doctor, very professional, great bedside manners, very good at what he does!! I had torn 3 of my 4 tendons off the hipbone in an accident and he was able to re-attach and I am back to walking, roller skating and doing the things I love. I can't thank you enough!!!! Highly recommended!!!

I love Dr. Smith. After being overlooked by orthopedics in the past, Dr Smith was able to figure out an actual solution to my long-term knee pain due to a genetic joint disorder. He did my surgery last year and I am doing great since. He always follows up and I will always go to him in the future. He can be difficult to get in to see, but he is well worth the wait. Strongly recommend him. He is a great surgeon.

Dr Smith was awesome! He took time to evaluate my arm, and really listene to my concerns!

Our son broke his elbow but after treatment was still in an immense amount of pain and his arm was healing crooked. We sought out 4 different doctors and they all said it was stable and healed and we needed to give it more time. It was so bad that our son's elbow would lock up and he would physically have to pop it back in place. Someone recommended Dr. Smith and he saw right away the elbow was still broken. Surgery and bone graft later, our son is doing amazing! Love Dr. Smith!!

Between Hips, Knees and Shoulders our whole family goes to Dr. Smith. He has done Hip surgery on my daughter and is possibly doing shoulder surgery for my husband. He is very nice, always explains everything, has great people working for him, follows up even if it's on his day off on a vacation. I highly recommend Dr. Smith .
