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.

Go to Boston
Had 2 surgeries from this Dr. 1st one lasted 5yrs with about 3 injections yrly. 2nd one was same exact surgery as the 1st & I was worse than I went in. Decided to go to Boston and get a 2nd opinion - needed another surgery in the same area and they fixed me.Dr. Marcovici is personable and nice.

I would recommend Dr Marcovici to anyone suffering from neck or back pain. He reviewed my situation and immediately gave me his recommended treatment. My symptoms and MRI indicated nerve damage and surgery was his recommendation. The surgery went extremely well and I woke up in the recovery room with all the pain and discomfort gone. I wish I had made the call to his office sooner!!
