I had a knee replacement done by Dr. Smires...... he finally got around to calling my husband hours later. You rarely see the doctor after your surgery, just his assistant. He appears to be very uncaring and has no bedside manner. P.S. I think something is wrong with the replacement less than 5 yrs later. I would not recommend him.

My husband had his knee replaced by him. Besides his operation being delayed for hours, never received a call and he left the hospital without reaching out to us. Found out about his status after 8PM. Following day went to see him. The nurse left him in the bathroom by himself and he fell, while there were signs all around 'Fall Risk'. Smires didn't even see him, he sent his assistant. The doctor released him even though he was bleeding heavily. I had to use multiple kitchen towels on his leg - told this was normal. When he ... read more

Dr. Smires replaced my knee and I could not have had a better surgeon. He is exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. As well, he is available when you need him. My new knee is amazing. I would give him my highest recommendation.

I had knee replacement surgery by Dr. Harvey Smires in November of 2020. I did everything I was told to do…went to physical therapy 3 times a week, went to all my follow up appts, etc. I started having issues with my knee and leg in March and saw Dr. Smires in April. He took x rays, saw nothing wrong with any bones and implied it was all in my head. He didn’t care that I was in pain everyday and that it might be a soft tissue issue (muscles, ligaments, etc). I never went back to him after that. I then went to another orthope... read more

This past Fall, I had a catastrophic injury to my knee that rarely happens to adults. I was so lucky to have a priority appointment with Dr. Smires. His skill and surgical expertise was exactly what was needed. He placed 3 screws in my knee and he was able to stabilize it. I felt very lucky to have found this doctor.

This past fall I had a catastrophic injury to my knee that rarely happens to adults. I was so lucky to have a priority appointment with Dr. Smires. His skill and surgical expertise was exactly what was needed. He placed 3 screws in my knee and he was able to stabilize it and reattach the quadriceps. After the knee surgery healed I went to Physical therapy at Princeton Bone and Joint. My Physical Therapist was Dan Smires and he is an amazing practitioner. His great knowledge and orthopedic post-surgical experience brought my ... read more

Decided on my diagnosis 3 seconds into my visit. Even after I explained more fully, there was little feedback. Had me do an xray, gave me a PT form with instructions that contradicted the symptoms I was having and couldn't be bothered to spend any time to discuss it. In the 20 minutes I was at the office, he spent at most 2 minutes with me. Staff was very friendly and also helpful in getting my xray so I could go to another doctor.

I was really dreading getting my knee issues resolved. From my phone call to schedule my appointment to my post op checks. It was a phenomenal experience. Dr Smires andhis staff were engaged supportive answered my questions and really made me comfortable and at ease. If you have been putting off knee surgery, give Dr Smires office a call, let them put you at ease and onthe road to regaining mobility and the reclaiming your enjoyment of life.
