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.

Dr Marema was awesome! I had to have my gallbladder taken out. He explained everything that was going to happened. He has a kind mannerism and made me feel that he cared and wasn't just another patient. Everything went as expected. He id a great job! He has a really great sense of humor that helped put me are ease. Highly recommended him!

Dr. Marema performed my Roux-en-Y gastric surgery on Aug. 2, 2002 at Celebration Hospitalin Celebration, FL. I was in the hospital for a week afterward and I lost 30 pounds in that first week. I have been free of heartburn and somehow my blood glucose has been “normalized” nearly-instantly since that day in 2002. Almost 17 years later, and my most recent A1c was 5.3, and at my most recent weigh in, I was at about 195...from my pre-surgery weight of around 335 pounds! Dr. M literally saved my

UI actually had my surgery in Ft. Lauderdale in November 1999! I would not be here today, typing, had I not had surgery with Dr. Marema. I'm guessing I might be one of his earlier patients and when people ask me the side effects of RNY gastric bypass, my response is Longevity! I highly recommend Dr. Marema. He is a skilled, extremely knowledgable physician with tremendous compassion.
