Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Caring and Compassionate
Having to take care of another health concern I suffered with carpal tunnel in both hands causing severe nerve damage or so I thought.Dr. Marcus evaluated me, listened to my concerns, laid out a plan for surgeries, and gave me hope that all would be fine.Today I can use both hands, I have no tingling or burning and am back to normal, thanks to Dr. Marcus.I would highly recommend him to anyone that has issues that his expertise can remedy.

Dr. Marcus is the best at what he does. Had my second carpel tunnel release surgery recently. He was informative, pleasant, and made me feel very comfortable. His staff is great. I would recommend him to anyone with hand and wrist problems! Thank you Dr. Marcus!

Great experience!
Dr. Marcus and his entire office staff are wonderful. I am always treated with respect, they are all friendly & I feel very comfortable when I am there for appointments. The staff at the Old Bridge surgical building are just the same. I have been there for surgery performed by Dr. Marcus a few times and have had a wonderful experience each time. Dr. Marcus is a fantastic doctor who takes time to explain everything to you. If you have any questions, he is happy to answer them for you. I am very lucky to have found this wonderful team.

Been a patient for about 10 years
Dr. Marcus is always helpful, explains everything and is reassuring. This time I had a super short wait in the waiting room. There is just one thing re Office staff communication on the phone: when I called 3 weeks ago. I shared my concern in person at my appointment AND I was told that they are working on it. I had needed a prescription for a "replacement" finger splint that I lost. ONCE I found the right person to help me: It was Faxed in QUICKLY!

Dr. Marcus checks all the boxes!
Several years ago I went to Dr. Marcus for Dupuytren’s contracture on my left pinky finger. He answered all of my questions, put me at ease, spent plenty of time with me and did everything within his power to provide the necessary surgery at the lowest cost possible. He was more like a coach and friend than a doctor! Here I am now about 15 years later living in PA now (not NJ) and I have Dupuytren’s on my right hand that needs to be fixed. I’m hoping he takes my insurance and I can take advantage of his services…it’ll be worth the 90 minute drive each way!

Dr. Marcus is the best doctor anyone would want to go to, very professional very caring and explains everything, listens and very understanding. I appreciate him for taking care of my thumb, I have to say you can’t tell I had surgery on it. I recommend him to anyone and if I ever have to go back for any other reasons for my hands I would not hesitate to go to him. Thank you Dr. Marcus and to his staff especially Ella for being so caring..
