Smith Scott A MD

While playing competitive volleyball I developed a persistent pain on the top of my foot. I decided to visit Texas Orthopedics and meet with Dr. Smith because he specializes in sports medicine and he was the doctor for my high school’s football team. He was able to examine my foot and determine I didn’t need an x-​ray which saved me a good amount of money. His decided treatment was to give me a cortisone shot for plantar fasciitis. After the shot my foot felt great and I was able to get back on the court the next day. Dr. Smith’s diagnosis and treatment was spot on and his bedside manner couldn’t have been better. If you are looking for a personable, trustworthy doctor or orthopedic surgeon in the Austin area I would definitely recommend Dr. Smith.

Dr. Scott Smith is rude, patronizing, unprofessional, dishonest and arrogant. Don’t waste your money on this guy. He doesn’t listen, talks down to you, and sped thru my appointment after making me wait for almost and hour. His lack of attention and compassion made my recovery time the most uncomfortable time in my life. He only cares about his paycheck and getting every patient out of his way as quick as he can. I should have read his reviews before ever going to him, I truly regret it!

Dr. Smith was rude, patronizing, and totally unconcerned about my injury or its effects on my life. With all the competent doctors in Austin, don’t waste your time seeing this unprofessional and arrogant individual.

I had dislocated my shoulder and decided to go to TX Orthopedics and was assigned Dr. Smith. Don’t go this guy, he maybe friendly etc. but I don’t need a friend, I need a doctor giving his professional opinion about orthopedic issues. My diagnosis was «There’s not much I can say, we need an MRI». What kind of diagnosis is this? He tested out my arm movement for less than 10 seconds and started selling the need for an MRI (the lab is located in his office, how convenient?). After this, he started his lame scare tactics about bone breakage, cartilage tear etc. He made sure I got an appointment scheduled at the desk. When I went back home I did my research and found out that there was no need for an MRI at this stage since I did not have any pain or fracture. This was just an attempt to extract extra money from me and my insurance. I cancelled my appointment subsequently.
I would recommend going to Dr. Carolyn Hyde for any orthopedic issues, she is excellent.
