Maria Buxbaum

Director of International Sales

Maria Buxbaum was the co-founder, Director of International Sales and CEO of HMB Endoscopy Products until the company was sold in 2014. Now, after a 3-year retirement, she has decided to re-enter the world of endoscopic instrumentation working with Excellent Endoscopy, Inc. as their International Sales Representative.

Marius Sorescu

Director of Repairs and Technology

Marius Sorescu, Master Endoscope Repair Technician, was born in Romania in 1966. He studied at the Institute Polytechnic in Timisoara, Romania and graduated as an electrical engineer in 1990. He and his wife, Mirela, took a chance and entered a National Lottery to see if they could win immigration visas to live in the United States. As luck would have it, they won this special lottery and moved to the United States in 1999, settling in warm and sunny South Florida.

Marius quickly got a job working as a technician for Motorola in Plantation, Florida, where he remained for one year. In the year 2000, he heard that Pentax was hiring endoscope technicians. He applied for the position and was hired by them to work in their South Florida repair facility, where he remained for 3 years, rising to the position of Master Technician. Unfortunately, Pentax closed the facility in 2004 forcing Marius to look elsewhere for endoscope technician work. Luckily, he found work with HMB Endoscopy Products. Marius became manager of the HMB Endoscopy Product’s repair department and supervised their growing repair department staff and remained there until 2017, when he joined Excellent Endoscopy, Inc.

Marius has a strong belief in ‘system’ repairs. Rather than just fix the obvious problem, Marius’ philosophy is to repair the immediate problem and then search for the cause of that problem and correct it. This approach to system repairs gives the endoscope longer life and fewer long term costly repairs.

Lastly, Marius is available for you to talk with whenever there is an issue with one of your scopes. Please call him to discuss system repairs or any other facet of your endoscope’s behavior the next time you talk with him.
