DR. COBUS SMITH - NANAIMO ORTHOPAEDICS REVIEWS

Dr cobus smith went above and beyond the call of duty looking up additional forms of support that could benefit me while I was at my ct scan. The best doctor I have seen yet.

Star from the heavens above. Kindness, patience and anchor of knowledge. I would gladly break my leg again to see him! Gem in the rough.

Thank you, Dr. Smith, for giving me my life back! An amazing and compassionate doctor. Thoroughly explains all procedures and makes you feel at ease prior to surgery. A truly caring professional in every aspect with a wonderful support team. There are not enough words to thank you for my new knee!!!

Dr Smith gave me back my love of life. He replaced both my hips the same day. I felt well informed and confident in his presence. I’d recommend Dr Smith to fix what needs repair. - F Reply

Dr. Smith did my hip replacement. He is kind, calm and very good at his job. I hope he doesn't retire before I need the other hip done - he's the best. Reply

Dr. Smith is the best surgeon ive ever had and most caring Doctor. If I ever need my other knee replaced or a new hip, I want him as my surgeon ! As for his office staff, they were awesome. Thank you to you all! - GP Reply

DR. JOHN BIRCHARD - NANAIMO ORTHOPAEDICS REVIEWS

Dr Birchard performed a complete reverse shoulder replacement for me in December. He was extremely personable and made me feel comfortable. The surgery went off without a hitch and the care I received from the hospital staff at the Nanaimo General Hospital was second to none. He changed my life for the better,; I can’t thank him enough.

Was referred to Dr. Burchard after a bad shoulder dislocation. He was very thorough and explained everything that would need to be done. I am now 3 weeks post op, and it is feeling great. Also, was very fast to get me booked for surgery. 3 months from dislocation to surgery.

Excellent Surgeon. Very knowlegeable and kind. I have had five joint replacements and have absolutely no complaints.

DR. JED LAUGHREN - NANAIMO ORTHOPAEDICS REVIEWS

A very respectful surgeon regarding No Blood. So thankful for that! He is very skilled and one of the few left, I'm sure, who will give you a caring visit in the hospital. I would recommend Dr. Laughren to anyone who is looking for the best outcome!

WOW! Didn't know they still had such great surgeons.

I'm so grateful to have Dr. JED and his team looking after me.
