Dr. Michael Demarco, DO

I saw Dr Demarco for back pain. He was totally disinterested. He looked down to his watch looking at the text. He did not review the films nor the results. The physical exam consist of dorsiflexing and flexing my foot. He did nothing to address the pain. He recommend PT for core exercises. I talked him into giving me a shot. Just once, I would like a doctor to look at films and walk in my shoes and truly care about the agonizing pain that I undergo every day every waking hour. I would avoid this doctor and the practice entirely. Please note Dr Polsky did my hip replacement and he is wonderful: he comes and sits in front of you, maintains eye contact and actually listens. Dr Delmarco could learn something from his colleague.

I called Friday before Memorial Day and was able to get an appointment for Tue, which is already kind of impressive. I showed on time and waited less than 10 minutes to be face-to-face w/ the doctor. Again, impressive. He was easy-going, professional, and friendly. I recommend Dr. DeMarco for anyone who needs to see an orthopaedist.

There was very little wait time (5 min). Listened to my concerns and eased my anxiety during the Nerve test.

Dr DeMarco is an Excellent Dr. He listened to me attentively, answered ALL of my questions and his feedback was completely on point. He took the time to explain the recommendation(s) to help with my health issues. The Staff mirrored Dr DeMarco. The Office Atmosphere was very clean, Professionalism knowledgeable in their area of Work/Tasks assigned. They are friendly and spoked with kindness.

Dr. DeMarco is a professional. As a patient, he was caring and empathetic before during, and after my procedure.

Had a great experience with Dr. Demarco. This was my first EMG and he did a great job explaining the procedure and the results. Would definitely recommend.

We were sent through our Insurance because they were on the Network. After getting the first appointment, they wanted to send us the Bill Directly. They were hoping we would pay it directly without using our insurance. Dealing with their attitude was horrible. The Insurance had a hard time speaking with them too; telling me it was not good communication since they were rude over the telephone. Then, after filling out the paperwork and knowing we had insurance, they wanted to insult us more by saying if we do have insurance, then we won't get the bill. But, the insurance and us had a three way phone conversation and they still wanted to be rude so I am done with all this politics and over outrageous charges we see in the bill. One Shot should not cost close to 400 dollars anyway. New Customers Beware of their Billing Process. They are about the Money and over-charging the insurance to make a buck.

Dr. Camaro at Orthopedics and Associates in Columbia's MD, he might know his trade and be very informative, but his professionalism leaves a bit to be desired. From talking poorly about previous colleagues, to down right insulting people in my profession, then asking if I was one of them. It's true that you don't have to like the person treating your as long as you get good treatment, this is definitely one of those cases.

He has the worst holier then thou attitude, will call you to the carpet over EVERYTHING and forgets he is REPLACABLE!

Was seeing dr daMarco for a worker comp injury. Was seeing him for better than a year. Received about 5-6 shots, the shots didn’t help at all. Had surgery saw him after because i was still having pain The surgeon said i needed a fusion now dr darmarco told me my pain was not real. That I was faking.

After seeing this guy for 6 months, I finally broke down in tears asking for an MRI of my spine because I was having extreme nerve pain and lower limb weakness, along with back pain and leg pain that had grown steadily worse over the year. At the follow up appointment where I was to get my results, he said “your MRI looks perfect.” Came to find out that the radiology report had not even been produced and he didn’t even have results when he told me that. 4 days later the radiology report was released, and showed scoliosis, spondylosis, and a congenital abnormality at the base of my spine. I am likely reporting him to the Maryland board of physicians.

This "doctor" should not be allowed to practice medicine. I went to see him with the horrible back and hip pain after the incident. He did not check my back even that I came in on the wheelchair and could not get up. He gave me no medicine for pain or therapy and stated that I just going to get better with time. I got much worth with time and had to see other doctors for care. Furthermore, he lied on the medical report stating that he evaluated me and I can walk fine. I did not even get up.

Dr DeMarco was the WORST dr I have ever had the displeasure of seeing! His bedside manner was diplorable and he insisted on continuing treatments which didn't work and didn't care how much pain his treatments caused me or that they made my condition worse!

Dr. Demarco was always courteous, polite, efficient, and professional. Since he is post military service, he is methodical, focused, and people oriented. His work ethic is impeccable; he lends a personal touch to his work.

When it came to solving my pain problem, Dr. Demarco was very friendly, understanding, and knowledgeable. He didn't treat me like a "drug-seeker" as other pain doctors have done in the past. I highly recommend him to anyone in desperate need of pain relief, truly a blessing.

The duplication of information gathering unbelievable. I was asked the same questions over and over and asked to fill out forms online and in person. When I informed the staff that I already was sent these forms by them and filled them out online they said I had to fill them out again. I also informed the nursing staff member of the online forms when she called me at home before my visit and she said she didn't know how to access the information and asked me the same questions again. So I think I aswered the same questions 3 and perhaps four time if you count the Doctor. Also, if you ever leave a message with the office staff don't count on them following through on it because its likely they won't and they won't get back to you either. You have to keep calling them back until your issue is resolved. If I had a choice I would never go back there again. I can at least say the Dr. and Nursing staff are excellent practitioners. Thats all that really counts anyway. Once you learn how to deal with the incompetent office staff you'll be fine.
