Marc H. Rubman, MD, has advanced training and specializes in arthroscopic surgery, sports medicine and joint replacement. He treats children, adolescents and adults with a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including fractures, arthritis, injuries of the knees and shoulders, sports injuries, ligament tears and work-related accidents.

Dr. Rubman has practiced with The Orthopedic Group in Morristown, New Jersey, since 2006. Before joining the Orthopedic Group in Morristown, he practiced privately in Morris County beginning in 1996. In addition, he has worked with all types of young athletes and was for many years, a consulting orthopedist for Randolph High School and County College of Morris athletics. He says, “A large part of my role as an Orthopedic Surgeon is as a teacher and an advisor, explaining to the patients and their families what the problem is, what are the treatment options, and helping them to make the correct decision that will help them to recover and get back to life.  Most of the time, the best way forward is with nonoperative methods.  However, when treatment calls for surgery I use leading-edge surgical techniques, equipment, and procedures to yield the best possible outcomes.”

Dr. Rubman’s research interests include meniscus repair and joint replacement options. He is the coauthor of articles and abstracts that are published in prestigious, peer-reviewed scientific journals, including Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Journal of Arthroplasty, American Journal of Orthopedics, and American Journal of Sports Medicine. He is a diplomate of the National Board of Medical Examiners and a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery.

Dr. Rubman is featured in New Jersey Family Top Doctor listings.

When he is not working with his patients, Dr. Rubman enjoys snow skiing, water skiing, golf, traveling, all-terrain cycling, history, and current world events.
