Dr. Barttush is spot on. I chose to have her do my surgery instead of having it done at home in North Carolina. She has my complete trust.

I came in with a broken ankle and no one was willing to help me with time off. Now I have to go to work with a broken ankle. The worst part is I can’t wear a boot at work so I’ll have to throw on a shoe and walk like nothing happened.

I really liked her treatment approach; she starts with the simplest treatment and progresses through the steps. She is patient in explaining things and takes the time to ensure everything is understood.

Dr. Bartush is an exceptional orthopedic specialist, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Today was my first consultation, it was clear that she is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also deeply invested in her patients' well-being.
She took the time to thoroughly explain my diagnosis, and discussing all available treatment options in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed during my appointments; she listened patiently to all of my concerns and answered every question with clarity and empathy.
