Daniel Marchalik's Online Review Report Card

On target but weak explanations. Needs a bit more humanity, empathy, and compassion. Strange that it is lacking given his expertise and publications.

I’m not sure about this office now just received a call for appointment confirmation for my husband and the front desk man that called thought was VERY rude and unprofessional. He asked about why we made the appointment and I was trying to remember the medical terminology and he made a stupid comment when I said for a dysfunction he sarcastically laughed and said well everything has a dysfunction. Im not sure why he thought that was funny. Dr. don’t have your patients discuss health matter with a front desk person who’s not even qualified to handle a call professionally.

I had a Telehealth visit with Dr. Marchalik. I found him to be very disinterested in my condition and just ready to get to lunch. The office had called and even tried to move up my appointment. In total the visit was about 8 min and most of it was me asking follow up questions as within the first minute he told me I was fine seemed to feel that was satisfactory for the appointment. All doctors are smart, there's no other way to get into medical school and match with an excellent residency program. He also appears to be widely published. He may be very smart, that I won't argue, but he needs to actually care about you the patient to do a good job, and that is where he severely lacks.

I went to Dr. Marchalik bearing high expectations, having been referred to him with the highest of recommendations. Within moments, Dr. M. had easily exceeded those highest recommendations. Dr. Marchalik is a great professional. Kidney stone procedure was a success. Everything was carried out at a very high level, almost painless and without discomfort. This is the exemplary kind of doctor every patient wishes for, but perhaps too rarely finds--just a grand all-round physician, empathetic human being for a harried world. Thank you Dr. Marchalik.

I was first seen by a medical student, who was very kind, took a careful history, and actually explained a few interesting things about my condition. I got more out of my time with him than I did with the doctor, who just went through the motions. He seemed rushed and as if he was just going through a checklist, like assembly line medicine. His whole attitude was a bit sour.
