What Are Patient Saying About Their Care with Dr. Smith

After extensive research and discussions with many people, my husband and I decided to seek out the best surgeon for a Nissen Fundoplication takedown. From our first telehealth visit with Dr. C. Daniel Smith last year, it was clear we had made the right choice. I followed up with an in-person consultation and endoscopy, and over several conversations, Dr. Smith consistently demonstrated an incredible depth of knowledge and expertise in these procedures.
What truly stood out to me was his ability to explain complex medical information in a way that was easy to understand. His patience and willingness to answer every question made me feel confident and well-informed at every step. I never felt rushed or pressured to proceed with the surgery — he gave me all the time I needed to make the best decision for myself.
Dr. Smith’s exceptional care, coupled with his vast experience, made a significant difference in my recovery process. I am truly grateful for his expertise and compassionate approach, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of this type of surgery.

Dr. Smith and his entire staff are absolutely first class, from the very first phone call to the last follow up visit, he and his staff answered all our questions before, during and after the procedure. Dr. Smith is an excellent surgeon, but even more so, an amazing human being that truly cares about his patients. I would say the most impressive thing for me, besides the successful repair, was the follow up and his availability post surgery. Anytime I needed anything or had a question it wasn't a staff person but Dr. Smith himself that responded to my emails or phone calls promptly, which was very comforting being that my wife and I flew from Minnesota to Atlanta to have him do the procedure.
Dr. Smith is the most personable, approachable and honest surgeon we have encountered, and we have seen many.

After two failed surgeries from other surgeons and endless hours of research trying to find the best surgeon for my condition, then meeting with him both online and in person, he is by far the most qualified, experienced, knowledgeable and quite frankly the only person I would trust to do my repair.
