I first saw Dr. Marx in 2011 after seeing several other doctors for my shoulder problem. Dr. Marx was kind and warm and is everything one can ask from a doctor. Dr. Marx reviewed my MRI and saw that I completely tore my shoulder labrum and it was severed from the bone. Not being able to use of my right arm, Dr. Marx preformed the surgery and it was success! It was a long and hard recovery but Dr. Marx was there every step of the way for any questions or concerns I had. Three years later I injured my knee and Dr. Marx was the first one I called. Dr. Marx took every step into not rushing me into surgery, which I liked but after months of pain Dr. Marx did the surgery and again was a success! Dr. Marx is one of the nicest and caring doctors I've ever met and is always there for his patients. I recommend him to everyone!

For over a year and half I walked around with constant ankle pain with my ankle giving way. I could no longer walk up and down stairs with out help and could no longer walk and run with pain and the feeling of my ankle giving way. After seeing other doctors who could do nothing i found Dr dines. My first visit with Dr dines was great. He explained exactly what was going on and gave me a plan. I ended up having surgery for 2 torn ligaments , stretched out tendon, and my ankle stabilized. Dr dines was incredible and was there for me for any questions or concerns. With Dr dines you get a whole support team that makes everything better. PA Brynn, nurse Angela, Valerie, and Carolyn always there for any questions or concerns. Now 8 months post and I'm walking and running with out any pain. I can't thank Dr dines again for everything he's done for me.

I was throwing in June and felt a pop in my shoulder. Being 7 years post-surgery on this shoulder I knew it was not a good sign. I went to Dr. Dines for a second opinion on it because he did an incredible job on my ankle a year before. It turned out there was a tear in the back part of the labrum, which required 4 anchors. Also, the original repair from 7 years prior was coming apart, which Dr. Dines fixed and reinserted those anchors. Dr. Dines did a great job and it was a night and day difference from the first time I had it done. The pain and recovery was smoother and now, 5+ months post-op, I’m throwing and swinging a bat like nothing ever happened thanks to Dr. Dines and his amazing team (PA Brynn, nurse Angela, Valerie, and Carolyn).

Over the course of 2 years, I underwent multiple hip scopes for torn labrums. After some time, my hip became bone-on-bone and I was informed I needed to undergo a hip replacement. Being in my mid-twenties, it was one the hardest things to process. Being in pain, not being so active, and walking with a big limp was something I wanted to get rid of. Having a replacement meant it would fix the problem but I wouldn’t be as active in the activities I loved to do. After months of debating, I went for a 2nd opinion to Dr. Su. From the 1st second I met him I knew he was the surgeon I wanted. He explained to me that I was a perfect candidate for a hip resurfacing. It was a huge decision, but I was ready. Having Dr. Urmey, who is also world-class at what he does by my side for anesthesia, made the entire process even better. As soon as my epidural wore off I knew my hip was fixed. The next morning when they got me up and walking I was pain-free. Two weeks post-surgery I was walking a mile with 1 crutch. Now 4 months post-op, my life has been changed dramatically since I am pain-free and have nothing limiting me. I am so grateful to Dr. Su and his amazing staff for giving me back something I didn’t think would ever happen!
