Dr. Howard Marans MD Experience

Dr. Marans' Care Philosophy

“Dr. Howard Marans believe that all patients are entitled to quality orthopedics surgical care and do my best to ensure that he live up to that standard. He treats most conditions of the upper and lower extremities and if he feels it is necessary will refer patients out for further, more specialized care when indicated. It is often difficult for patients to be seen quickly by an Orthopedic Surgeon. He can always see patients within 1-2 days and often on the day of injury. It is also common for patients to wait for hours to see the doctor once they arrive. He endeavors to keep waiting times to a minimum. “

Recognized Doctor

Health grades Recognized Doctor designation identifies leading doctors who:

· Have no malpractice judgments, adverse arbitration awards, or monetary settlements for the last five years in the states in which health grades can collect malpractice data.
