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.

former patient
i have been a patient of dr marin for over 20 years. scheduled my annual gyn visit. when i called to make my appointment i clearly advised the receptionist of my dual inusrances. and she said i wb ok. i arrived to the appointment only to find out they no longer accept my insurance and would not bill me. when i requested to sw with dr marin the receptionist got hostile and rude and absolutely refused to let me speak to the dr. when i inquired about the cost of the visit she was not sure. i immediatley canceled the visit and was told i wb charged a no show fee. um... no ! i love dr marin and hate to leave, the excuse by the receptionist is that they failed negotiations with my insurance co. NO LETTER FROM INS CO OR DR OFFICE Each blamed the other.

Nope
Was a patient for 10 years and found Dr. Marin to be fine with routine matters. Recently had a bleeding issue post menopause (after no bleeding for 20 years) and after a biopsy and ultrasound the diagnosis I received was that my ovaries were 'just waking up'. I ran. Beware.

I have had numerous bad instances with Dr. Marin. I had blood test done with her, for I did not have a primary doctor at the time, which cost about $4k. It has been over a month since she has given me the results after numerous times asking for the results. Then, after needing a urine culture for an emergency UTI, they told me to go see a doctor at urgent care instead of my trusted doctor. Telling me they couldn't give me medicine without one. The urgent care in upstate NY is notoriously terrible and even the girl WORKING at urgent care told me I would not be treated correctly. I missed work and urgent care couldn't even detect anything. I called my old Gyno and she prescribed me my usual UTI medicine on the spot. Thankfully, I was treated correctly without even going in to the office. Even after crying on the phone to nurses, this office refused to help me. Unprofessional, uncaring, and severely disappointing.

Probably one of the brightest physicians I have ever had...and at the same time very gentle, compassionate and not rushed. A more comprehensive GYN annual visit than I’ve experienced and great follow up communication. Entire staff/team is very friendly.

Office is disorganized. Patients time is not valued. You should not have to waste your time to continually call a doctors office to follow up on things that were promised to be done.

Patients time not valued – Jan 15, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Marin?
Beautiful office, very nice staff. The provider was really friendly and super enthusiastic, spent a great deal of time with me and was obviously very passionate. Unfortunately she feels really strongly about two popular fad diet (there is no other word for them, as they are not evidence based) that I was not able to get a word in edge wise. Ultimately, we did not even have time to address my presenting complaint because so much time was spent discussing these diets!

Very opinionated! Doesn’t want to hear anyone else’s ideas. When none of her treatments were clearly not going to work for me, she refused to consider anything else.
