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.

Rotator Cuff Repair Success
After two years of enduring shoulder pain and unsuccessful non-operative treatments, Dr. Marx skillfully repaired my rotator cuff. Dr. Marx attentively listened to my concerns and meticulously explained my treatment options. The recovery journey demanded patience, but since the surgery, I have experienced freedom from pain. Dr. Marx's dedicated team, including Joe, Chiffon, Sarah, Sylvia, and Andrew, provided unwavering support throughout. Now, at 13 weeks post-operation, I am delighted to report being pain-free. I am profoundly thankful for Dr. Marx's expertise and compassionate care.

Terrible experience
My surgery, which was supposed to take a week to heal, didn't work as planned - I saw a dozen doctors and no one could figure out why it took months to heal. The whole time, Dr Marx was arrogant, placed the blame on me, was very rushed and difficult to work with, and made the process a lot worse.

Incredible ACL Expertise
I saw Dr. Marx and his team for a ruptured ACL and torn MCL from ski injury. Dr. Marx has unbelievable expertise in this area of ACL tears during skiing (which is a special case I found out from him) and is the only doctor that recommended NOT to have surgery and recommended I allow the ACL to heal on its own (I consulted several prominent ACL surgeons in New York) . That was 11 months ago and I have been skiing again this season with no issues. Dr. Marx's expertise in this area saved me from unnecessary ACL reconstruction surgery and a 9 month recovery. In addition, the whole process of the office visit from appointment to visit through follow-up was the best I've ever experienced in any doctor or hospital -- everything is run very smoothly and they are very attentive to you. In addition, I had allot of questions and did allot of research prior to my consultation and Dr. Marx was very gracious to spend allot of time answering my questions and providing deep details on my case.

Dr. Marx is dismissive and more concerned about time than communication. He refused to consider a pre-existing heart condition, noted by my cardiologist. He would not listen when I complained of persistent pain post ACL reconstruction. He dictated notes indicating that I had no complaint of pain, right after I had expressed concerns of increasing pain and swelling. Ignored the MRI that I independently requested to seek answers, saying MRIs are not a dependable source of intel. Turns out one the screws he placed came loose, and the ACL graft became frayed. There were obviously multiple issues with the outcome of my procedure which he disclaimed. I realize failures happen, but his lack of interest in the outcome was what was most questionable, and I can’t help wonder if it was this rushed and robotic approach might have caused error. Please be careful, as success in research/publication does not equate to staring surgical technique.

I needed emergency surgery to repair my fully ruptured hamstring muscles and I heard that it's not such a common surgery and was worried, thank G-D i heard about Doctor Marx, the man is amazing, I have never met someone so professional, totally secure with what he was doing and very clear about all the details so I felt informed worn no surprises, I hope I never need a surgeon again but if I ever did, he would absolutely be my first choice.

After my knee surgery, I was able to resume my regular activities fairly quickly. I got back to tennis and running after three months and six months later I am back and better than ever! Thank you Dr. Marx for your expertise and encouragement throughout.

I have never been to a WORSE doctor in my ENTIRE LIFE!!! I went to Dr. Marx for a consultation about my reoccurring scar tissue that was causing pain and many other problems after my ACL reconstruction surgery. I knew the problem was a build up of scar tissue because it has happened in the past and I had MRI reports and multiple other surgeons who confirmed this diagnosis. Though, when I went to this "amazing" surgeon he did not even care what I had to say and called me a liar and was very rude
