He presented me with all the treatment options and then gave me his best recommendation which was in line with what worked best for me. As an overweight woman, he also didn't try and blame the issue on my weight, which was incredibly affirming of the discomfort I have been feeling. It's so important for people of size to receive unbiased care and suggestions for recovering from injuries/conditions.

When I first met with Dr. Smyth, he made an effort to make a personal connection with me based on the personal information in my chart. That made me feel comfortable with him from the start. He took his time to assess the issue with my knee, asking questions about my accident along the way. When I met with him for a follow-up, he remembered that I have other injuries that I'm also dealing with, and again, he took his time with me, allowing me plenty of time to ask my own set of questions. He's a kind and compassionate man.

I'm a scardy-cat about surgery but he was great in the weeks prior answering all my questions whether at an appointment or via my chart. The paperwork I received in advance helped me plan out my ice machine, perscriptions, schedule PT, and get my supplies and home set up for convalescence. On the day of surgery he came in to see me in the pre-surgery area and helped reassure me again. After surgery he spoke to my husband and confirmed the procedure went well and explained it all and my expectations and needs for after surgery so my husband knew how to best care for me at home.

Mark P. Smyth, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
