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.

Terrible
After seeing him in 2016, he belittled me and told me I was too young to be having the symptoms I was having. I left feeling defeated. I put my problems on hold for years because of him and to this day having regrets of doing so. Fast forward to 2022 where I found a new amazing rheumatologist I wish I went to years ago. I’ve been diagnosed with lupus.

Dr Marbach has been my rheumatologist for about 20 years. I appreciate the amount of time he devotes to each office visit answering any questions I have and discussing treatment options. My life with RA is much much less painful and more comfortable under his care. I highly recommend Dr Marbach.

I was very disappointed - he talked to me with his eyes closed most of the time. He was so focused on medication that I don't think he heard 1/2 of what I said. I requested copy of records to take else where and was given record of messages between him and staff- whereas he belittled my symptoms and conditions. I was shocked at his pompass demeaning comments in my health records and will never go back to him. The office is filthy too

He is exceptional! I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. If you ever need to see a specialist, he recommends some amazing doctors. He explains everything in detail when you are at your visit, almost as if you are getting a college science lesson! I have never waited more than 10 min to see him, and have never been rushed or pushed out of the office. He is truly for the patient.
