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.

Excellent ankle care
Dr. Bartush and her staff took excellent care of me after a bicycle accident that broke my ankle in three places and dislocated my foot. I always felt respected and listened to.

Broken fibula
First visit was a week after I had actually broken my leg, I thought I had just sprained my ankle. Dr Bartush immediately looked at my X-rays and sent me for an MRI. I had actually done a lot of damage she scheduled surgery and took care of an old break in my ankle I didn’t know I had and fixed my fibula with the plate. and screws! Dr Bartush is smart, thorough, and most importantly caring when talking with me! I would highly recommend her if you need orthopedic care!

Direct, approachable
Check in, imaging, everything was insanely efficient and quick. Dr. Bartush and her aide saw me soon after being seated in the patient room, conducted her examination and confidently explained her diagnosis, rationale, and her expectations for treatment, including the levels and signs for escalation. Much appreciated.

Exceptional Physician and Surgeon
Dr. Bartush is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. She takes advantage of modern technologies and techniques to achieve optimal results and she is very open to consulting with her network of colleagues to be sure she is considering all options, risks, and possible outcomes. Dr. Bartush performed very complex surgery on my ankle and the results were even better than I had hoped for. In all of our office visits, she spent as much time as I needed to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had. I’ve had two other ankle surgeons in the past. I wish I had found Dr. Bartush sooner. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Dr. Bartush is Amazing!!!!!
My son is a multi-sport athlete who broke his hip two months ago and has not been unable to play. Dr. Bartush was able to diagnose him right away and advised us on the best practices so that he is back to 100%. Dr. Bartush put his best interest first. She was very patient, a good listener, and made sure my son understood what he needs to do to get back to playing and being himself. I highly recommend Dr. Bartush!!!! She was amazing!!!!

Best of the Best
Dr. Bartush is an exceptional physician! She took the time to listen, understand, and explain my options clearly. I had an injury from working out and had the fastest recovery from surgery. Dr. Bartush got me back to working out much sooner than I expected. She is the best orthopedic doctor I have been to. I would highly recommend her!
