I had a very disappointing experience with this orthopedic doctor. I went to see him because of…read moresevere pain and swelling in my right leg after a fall at work earlier this year. I explained that sometimes I could barely move my leg and even showed him my MRI results indicating chondromalacia patella. He dismissed my concerns, laughed, and told me that it was just arthritis and that if I wanted to sue, that was my problem. He didn't order any further tests such as a leg Doppler or a D-dimer blood test to rule out possible clots. His attitude was unprofessional and dismissive. I left the appointment feeling disrespected and unheard. I expected a proper orthopedic evaluation, not mockery. Very disappointing experience.

My first experience with Dr. Marek was in the ER with an infected hand that he operated on. After…read morehealing I went to Dr Marzek to remove extra skin on my legs from weight loss. I was thoroughly happy and next went for my arms. I ride a Harley Davidson and the skin vibrating on my arms was terrible. I went from 400 pounds to 130. He had a lot of skin to deal with. I can't say enough good things about him and all of the staff. They really care about their patients.

My experience with this doctor was horrible. My fiancé suffered a bowel obstruction and Mascarenhas…read morewas his surgeon. He did not have bedside manner, he wasn't concerned about our concerns or questions, he did not explain what we should expect after surgery. When he removed my fiancé's staples he didn't use any antibacterial cleaners and the incision became infected. When we did go back for a follow up he was fast talking and avoided our question by saying it's fine it healing. It was not healing and antibiotics were needed that was prescribed by a different doctor who realized the big oozing blisters on the incinsion were infections. Mascarenhas closed up the incinsion so tight that my fiancé has a permanent bulge on his right side that is not going away. When he stands up straight his skin is stretching because his skin was pulled so tight together after surgery. When we spoke to someone higher up all they said is he's a really smart doctor he just doesn't know how to talk to people. I don't know maybe he just didn't like us. Overall it was a horrible experience with him and he did nothing to help us when things went wrong after the surgery. He even avoided seeing us when we tried to get an appointment after the incinsion became infected and said we have to wait a week. So we ended up seeing a different doctor. Please choose a different doctor when seeking help.

So, I was blamed for my foot problem. Was told you can't even go barefooted in your own home. Was also blamed for other things. The center knows how to belittle people and make them feel bad. You don't tell a 71 year old he was wrong all his life for bare footedness, especially around the house. Also, there were only 2 patients with two podiatrists. I still had to wait 30 minutes in a small room. Also, scolded for something I didn't do pertaining to recovery and time duration of followup visit.
