Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding bedside manner
I have seen him twice and both times i was shocked to have a doctor spend so much time explaining things. Not once did I feel rushed!

Dr.Marx had an Italian meeting with me and provided me with a clear understanding of my situation. Right after that meeting he and his Medical Assistant took four biopsies of my right thyroid. It was a smooth process although a bit uncomfortable but Dr Marc explained what was going to happen step by step and that made it a lot easier. I appreciate very much his professionalism.

Just saw Dr. Marx for first time. I was disappointed. He interrupted me, and asked questions that made it clear that he had not listened to what I had very briefly told him. I am on here now searching for a new endocrinologist.

I have been a patient of Dr. Christopher Marx for over 10 years. Dr. Marx is very knowledgeable and always ensures that I have a good understanding of my medical issues, test results and the importance of my yearly checkups. Because of him I have been able to keep my medical conditions under control. Highly recommend!

As a healthcare professional, I know when I see a great provider, an OK provider, and one that just does not care. Unfortunately Dr. Marx is one that shows he does not care. I am a patient that had thyroid malignancy and total removal. He insists on putting me into a "box" of standard treatment, when it has proven not to work. Not all patients fit into certain categories, everyone is different. He lacks the ability to listen and realize this!!! I will be following up with another Provider...
