The reviews listed below were collected independently of EmergeOrtho through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr Marushack presented as a reputable and knowledgeable doctor for knee replacement surgery through robotic technology. He explained his procedure & practices thoroughly and answered all my questions in either detail or through visual means. He provided a comfortable explanation for what I could expect throughout the process. Given his experience with robotic surgical procedures, I would strongly recommend him for patients considering this type of surgery.

I drove for almost 50 minutes to go to my appointment that I waited over 2 months or more to schedule and after waiting over 40 minutes in the lobby, that Dr MARUSHACK had had to leave early!!! They said they had called but I pulled up all my calls in front of the receptionist and showed I had not receive any. I was so upset. I drove over 1 1/2 hours with the price of gas for nothing. All I needed was a referral to Duke for my knee which is totally damaged. So frustrated. Sorry to be so negative but I am in constant pain and have to do something. What do I do now????
