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.

Dr. Marushak is a very down to earth type of doctor. He tells you exactly what is going on and what needs to be done. I worked as a nurse for 35 years and even though I have insight into the medical profession, I appreciate being told what is going on and what to expect on a human level. He takes his time and doesn’t rush you through the appointment. I’ve had one surgery with him and now I’ve got another one pending and I have full confidence in Dr. Marushak to get me to goal with this one as he did with my previous surgery.
