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.

Awful experience. Was rushed through appt because I did not need surgery. Ordered multiple tests and then didn’t review any with my wife and I. He point blank stated he was a surgeon and I can live with the pain. I had to find a pain doctor on my own who gave me an injection in my back which helped tremendously . I was not looking for surgery, just advice from the expert, which apparently he is not. Very abrupt and rude. Don’t waste your time.

My 6 year old son recently experienced a very bad arm break after a freak fall in our backyard. Dr. Mardjetko was thankfully able to complete emergency surgery on him in the early morning hour of what I am sure was the end of a long day for his staff. Dr. Mardjetko instantly put me at ease, and was great at explaining the procedure and the risks in terms I could understand. He came himself to get me in the waiting room after the successful surgery. Thankful to have this shining star during a difficult day for my family.

I was a patient of his at Shriners. From when i was about 8 months old till about 12 years old. I am now 26, and the operations performed by him saved my life. My spine had a 98 degree curve by time i was 2 years old and i now sit up straight tall and proud. Im now the first in my family with a 4 year college degree and live a very fulfilling life. Im thankful for him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Mardjetko's for years. After an accident, I was left with extreme back pain that became so severe I could not even finish school. After many visits to various Physicians, I was then referred to Dr. Mardjetko. He and his staff changed my life. Because of his surgical expertise and excellent care, he made it possible for me to serve in The U.S. Military. He is in my opinion the most compassionate and knowledgable expert in his field.

I waited for 2 1/2 hours to see this doctor for my back pain which he could see on the X-ray is severe. He came in and talked to me for 7 minutes. What a joke.
