Matthew D Marsh's Online Review Report Card

I have been to see this doc a couple 2/3 times for ongoing Lumbar problems. In my view, he pretty much disregards you if you're over 65. He orders the usual dose pack, suggests physical therapy with no follow through, doesn't care, one size fits all seniors approach. Went to see him for Lumbar pain and was totally disregarded as evidenced by his assessment of, "you're almost 70, what do you expect?" Pretty much deal with it and get out of here, I have younger more vibrant ppl to see. Abhorrent and unprofessional. Do not recommend this doc if you're a " senior." I guess he only serves the young and beautiful that have sports injuries. He's in the wrong geographical location for that in my experience and view as a retired LCSW.

This is the most non caring jerk I have ever been to in my 83 years. Not able to walk on my right leg because of so much knee pain. Had been told it was bone on bone. Oh you have a little arthritis. That’s it. You’ve had some shots so come back in 3 months. I’m in a wheelchair and that’s ok by him. Just stay off the knee.

I went in hopeful for help. My right knee had been diagnosed as bone on bone. They did X-rays and he just said little arthritis. Really, I’m in a wheelchair and unable to Sleep for the pain. We’ll you’ve had some shots so I can’t do anything else so come on back in 3 months. Are u kidding. So unconcerned. Made me feel very belittled. Very Cocky and arrogant! I’ll find another dr that cares!!

LAST Thursday, I had a emergency appointment with Doctor Marsh a wonderful, brilliant, caring physician because my right knee had severe arthritis. The pain was unbearable, and even though I was on strong pain medicine, I needed a walker to walk into the office. Doctor Marsh immediately reviewed my right knee xray and explained in detail, that he will inject a Cortisone shot, that should relieve a lot of the pain, and hopefully, in a few weeks get rid of 90 to 100% of the pain. Dr. Marsh said the shot shouldn't hurt, but if it does, he's not injecting right. I had NO pain and relief started almost instantly. Doctor Marsh is a excellent Orthopedic Doctor. I will have further treatment in 6 weeks for more evaluation and scheduling future healing programs. Thank you for your wonderful medical services, Dr. Marsh. Mark L Woolfson

I saw Dr. Marsh for a "frozen shoulder" (adhesive capsulitis). He was professional, efficient, and pleasant. I had an x-ray, and an injection into the shoulder, which allowed me to feel good enough to do PT (referral to very nice PT place), and 98% better.

He's wonderful. Very patient, explained clearl and made me feel comfortable

Listen to all my concerns. Alleviated my fears and took care of my problem very efficiently. Thank you Dr Marsh for your compassion.

Fails to listen to the patient. Asked me twice how long I have been dealing with the pain. Told me the xrays of my shoulders show no problems, yet I'm in pain. Told me to do exercises, that haven't worked in past. Wanted me to take cortisone. Said no, past experience with it shows it doesn't work for me. Brushed me off. I would say he gave me maybe 5 minutes of time, waiting for him was much longer. For me his refusal to listen to the patient was a major negative for me, and I will not recommend him to anyone.

This is my second time coming to see Dr Marsh. The first time was my back pain. He help me understand the dos and the don't in order to feel better. This helped me very much. When I injured my knee I called for an appointment and got in the next day. He checked my pain area out again told me what I need to feel better. Exercising and stretching. My experience with this doctor is that I trust his judgment and am confident he is helping me. The staff is very professional and compassionate I recommend Dr Marsh .

I visited Dr. Marsh and could not be more pleased with my visit. He is very kind and friendly. He did not seem to be in a hurry to throw answers at me and run out the door like most doctors. After his physical examination he took the time to answer my questions in great detail and explained to me step by step what my next couple weeks with the injury would entail. I was being seen for a possible broken foot and the office was great at getting me in to see him in a timely manner. The X-ray technician was kind as well, which seemed to be the environment throughout the building. I would highly refer Dr. Marsh and the team at West Coast Musculoskeletal Institute if you are in need of an Orthopedic Doctor. Thank you Dr. Marsh!
