In the blink of an eye, this incompetent fool ruined the last little shred of life I had left. He should not be practicing medicine anywhere ever again! Do not trust this slimey POS!

This doctor is a hired gun for court cases, but his surgery experience is extremely lacking. He claims to be an expert for either the prosecution or the defense, whichever pays more. But, even though he testifies in court for back injuries, he hasn't performed back surgery in over 15 years. He lives on his Yale diploma, and would rather get paid for court appearances than be an actual practicing surgeon. I would stay away.

I fractured my right elbow in June of 2012 and went to Markbrieter. He immobilized it and when I asked if physical therapy was recommended he brushed it off and just said that it would heal naturally. After about one month I noticed that when I tried to throw a ball I was experiencing significant pain in my right shoulder. I returned and questioned him regarding the pain and he flippantly said it was just symptomatic of the elbow fracture and that it would correct itself with time. The pain continued, although less in severity, for the next 2 years, and upon consulting with another ortho I got an MRI. I now find out that there is a significant tear in the rotator cuff that , due to the time since the injury, has little hope of repair, as the tendon in need of repair has retracted into the shoulder, and a probability of arthritis in the future.

This man made me feel like a customer at McDonalds, not only did he keep facts hidden from me by lying to my face, he messed me up and I had to another ortho surgeon to correct his work, his staff is was not the most friendly, he spent very little time with me in the exam room, he refused to provide me basic care which would have avoided complications from his negligence all in order to save the Insurance company a few dollars. His office was always crowed, I had to wait over an hour for each visit, multiple times, and when he did see me in the exam room, it was too short. I would not let this man near me if he was the last ortho surgeon on Earth

Nothing but a prostitute for the insurance company!!!!! I recently sued my former landlord for a broken ankle injury and he was the doctor that the defense hired to represent them. He accused me of having heart problems which I do not have. He lied and said there was nothing wrong with my ankle and I have a metal plate and a screw that were put in because it was broken in 2 places. He didn't even examine me properly by measuring my ankles and comparing the injured ankle to the non-injured one. He also tried to blame my decreased mobility on an old knee injury from 7 years ago that has healed. He called me obese because I exercise regularly in a pool and on an exercise bike and I am solid because I have muscle. He was rude, obnoxious and lied through his teeth for the insurance company. Horrible!!!!

He is not only arrogant but disrespectful and rude. I have never met a more chauvinistic doctor in my life. Thinks he knows it all and will bash your other doctor. Opinionated, dogmatic with his opinions about other doctors, narrow-minded, egotistical, lack of respect for his patients, and will give you a false and fallacious diagnosis despite what the test results show.

I presented for hammer toe surgery on a single digit and when I woke after surgery, I found pins in 4 of my 5 toes. Subsequent to the surgery, my toes curled again and much worse, 8 years later my foot structure has totally collapsed. I cannot walk comfortably even with multiple attempt at different orthotics. I may have to undergo surgery again. He is the worst and rude to boot!

This Dr. claimed to know it all and he maimed my foot for life. Had to have reconstructive surgery after he finished what he thought was a "simple procedure". I would not send a dog to this man.
