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.

Dr Maskala is amazing. She has operated on so many of our family and friends. There is no one else I would choose for any orthopedic issue. She is the most kind and compassionate physician I have met. She talks through your diagnosis in a way that you can understand. We will miss her greatly!

She is a special person
From my first visit we connected and I loved her. She is easy to talk to, explains everything in detail. Made me feel very comfortable about my first surgery at 73 years old. I am so sad she is leaving. It will be hard to find someone to fit in her shoes.

Dr.Maskala is a great doctor because not only does she do a great job with her surgeries but she’s compassionate. Dr Maskala cares how you feel as well as how the surgery is doing. I recommend her constantly!

Dr. Maskala has treated me for about a year. She was very upfront about different prior treatments and finally surgery. She showed me the whys it was needed and the best options. Didn't sugar coat the after work needed and the pain. Surgery went great. I feel I am doing better than I thought at this point. Care team answered questions on get well promptly. The knee is healing great and the scar is not bad. Still have work to do, but very happy.

Expert in her Profession
Dr. Maskala is the utmost orthopedic surgeon. She is also personable, easy to talk to and very current in her field. Her expertise is well-known beyond her own medical circle. I always felt very confidant in her abilities and secure under her care. My husband and I have been under her care off & on for over 10 years. We have followed in all her practices. I trust her judgment impeccably.

I highly recommend Dr Maskala and her team for any ortho needs you would have. I have had a few surgeries with her and she has made my quality of life so much better. Currently 2 weeks out from a double knee replacement and I am amazed at the progress I am seeing in my recovery. I can't thank Dr Maskala and her entire staff enough for the incredible care and professionalism they have shown throughout the last 12 years or so that I have been under her care for one thing or another. Thank you so much

I would definitely recommend Dr. Maskala to family and friends! I am two weeks post-op and am progressing very well. My knee has reached 90 degrees with therapy. The therapy suggestions before surgery helped me in getting through the therapy afterward. She is a very compassionate Doctor, we are lucky to have her available to us!

Dr. Maskala did my knee surgery about 2 weeks ago. My recovery is going well and better then expected. I wish I would have done this earlier. I will have the other one done and will want her to do my next surgery! I can’t say Thank you enough to this team!
