Dr. Charles Bernard Marder, MD

I know this will run contrary to most other reviews, but I HAVE to warn you given my very poor surgery outcome with Dr. Marder. I had typical bunion surgery on my right foot. It has been 3 full months and it is still incredibly painful to walk on this and I am in intensive PT. I am a 15-year marathon runner, and this has RUINED my chances of ANY running (not even a short distance) at any foreseeable point in my future. Dr. Marder had NO aftercare plan to get me back to being active. I had to figure that out for myself. I had horrible swelling, bruising, and significant scarring (after 3 months my foot is still so swollen I can only wear tennis shoes), and my foot feels WORSE that it did before the surgery. It hurts ALL DAY now and I can't bend most of my toes. Dr. Marder's aftercare was not well thought out - he even showed me comedy videos one day during a follow-up appointment (after I had waited over an hour on him!), rather than discussing appropriate care. And, he NEVER gave… me any written exercises or guidance about how to regain mobility. He also basically lied to me and said I would be back to running in 8 weeks, which could not have been further from the truth. Please, please, take this seriously - if you are an athlete or anyone who is very active, this is NOT the doctor for you. Consider an orthopedic surgeon who is used to getting active people back to being active. I feel like this is truly one of the WORST MISTAKES I have ever made in judging a surgeon and trusting a doctor.

I would highly recommend Dr. Charles Marder. My daughter needed to have foot surgery and she was terrified. Not only did he do a great job with the surgery, but he did a great job keeping her as calm and as reassured as possible. Aside from being a very skilled surgeon, he is very thorough and very caring. He has a great bedside manner and I would not hesitate to go back to him and his office for any future needs.

Very disappointed, Although he was friendly & professional he did not listen to or address the real problem I went to see him for. He did not do a complete exam of my foot/ankle (impossible to do when you only place one finger on the patient!!!) I am an RN and am very suspicious of the quality of care by this MD after my experience here.

Both Dr. Marder and his staff were kind and compassionate with my situation. I had an acute problem with my foot that required attention quickly. He was able to fit me into his schedule within a reasonable amount of time to provide treatment. Thank you Dr. Marder and your staff!
