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.

My experience with Dr Marchlinski was perfect. He is an extremely knowledgeable and capable cardiologist. Where other cardiologists had tried 3-times to do a successful atrial tachycardia ablation on me, even though this ablation required getting critically close to the center of my heart, Dr Marchlinski was the only one who was successful. He saved my life and did a very risky procedure that no one else could do. He also has a very confident personality. I respected what he said and did. He uses few words but, you can bet that what he says, you will understand and respect.

He and the awful care at HUP ruined my life! No INR check the day before surgery so that was high, dr/ nurse practitioner said my vitals did not have to be checked every 10-15 minutes after surgery because I had a history of migraines, so when I could t beat it and passed out, I was elevated and send to CT Scan where a bleed in my cerebellum was seen. blood was evacuated in surgery- good, but I’ve spent 2+ years in rehabilitation...and the beat goes on.
