Dr. Mara – Testimonials
I had (left) hand surgery in September 2022 and before, during and since that day Dr Mara had been wonderful. He is calm, thorough, soft-spoken, welcomes questions and clearly knows the subject down cold. Also, everyone else there is nice and efficient.
Dr. Mara is an expert on joints and the injuries thereto. He has operated on both shoulders and My right wrist over 20 years of injuries. My most recent visit went very well, with Dr. Mara clearly explaining the new injury to my wrist and what to do about it. I highly recommend him.
Very well run office— easy to make an appointment- friendly staff, knowledgeable and willing to respond to questions- who compliment very experienced doctors like Dr.Mara. I would highly recommend them.
