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.

Absolutely satisfied.
Dr. Marino has done a complicated rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder and a total replacement on my left. I couldn't be more satisfied or pleased with the results. I didn't leave him much to work with on the right side and I have almost full range of motion, strength and pain free. Same with the replacement, I am sincerely grateful.

Exactly what you expect!
Dr. Marino was highly recommended because of his professional demeanor and his expertise with my orthopedic needs. I was not disappointed and glad I drove the 35 miles to his clinic. At 73 years of age and a countless number of doctor visits behind me, my experience with Doctor Marino is what you always hope for but don’t always get. I had immediate concerns with my year-long ordeal with my elbow. In previous visits with several providers I just didn’t feel like I had an in-depth understanding of what my current expectations should be and what to expect in the long term. Dr. Marino allowed me the time to address my concerns. I left his clinic feeling 100% satisfied with his responses. If, and when, my condition requires surgery as a necessary option I would not hesitate to return to his clinic. I greatly appreciate the care I received from Dr. Marino and his medical assistant.

Worst rotator cuff surgery I have ever had, and I have had 5. Marino pushed away our best Orthopedic Surgeon, Richard Slusher, we ever had in this area....been here 25 years. TRY AND GET HIM BACK.

My husband had rotator cuff surgery done by another surgeon that failed so Dr. Marino had to re-do the surgery, which was successful this time. My husband's recovery went very well and he is extremely pleased with Dr. Marino's skill and manner. He would certainly recommend him to anybody needing shoulder surgery.

Went to Dr. Marino for a second opinion - and never left! He spends a lot of time with his patients, making sure they understand their conditions, surgical options and what comes next. He did a great surgery and the follow up was incredible. Would highly recommend him!
