I recently saw Dr. Bartush for a knee injury, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care I received. From start to finish, she was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her bedside manner is outstanding—she took the time to listen carefully, explain everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Dr. Bartush didn’t just treat the immediate issue—she looked at the bigger picture and referred me to a physical therapist to support my long-term recovery. That kind of thoughtful, comprehensive care is rare and truly appreciated.
It’s clear that Dr. Bartush is passionate about what she does and genuinely cares about her patients. I left feeling confident, supported, and well on the road to recovery. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of orthopedic care—you’ll be in excellent hands.
