Excellent “bedside manner.” Total confidence in him. Checked my bad knee out, got an injection, clearly explained the process. No rush for surgery. Good man.

Very personable. Answered all my questions. Diagnosed the problem and provided solution — no surgery required, knee injection and physical therapy. Dr. Marushack took the time to cover everything; on time and no wait.
