This is long overdue, and I would be remiss if I didn't leave this brilliant doctor an evaluation for all he has done for me and my family. I have been treated by Dr. Marsh for 20 years. During this time he has treated all my children, my mother, sister, dozens of my colleagues from C-level executives to temps as well as my husband. Many people that are fortunate enough to call him their primary doctor may not be aware of his pedigree, talent and expertise around diagnosing and treating illnesses. Some reading this will have been literally saved by him, and to them I make the challenge of sharing their story.
As extraverted as he is, he is not a self-promoter and while he is an exceptional professional in every way, (often speaking to groups etc.), he remains humble about his own accomplishments. He is uniquely positioned in Burbank to treat young adults to older, geriatric patients and many of us within the entertainment business. Always disarming people with a joke, while truly seeking to put them at ease to ask probing questions that will help him identify their health baseline, he is thorough. There is method to his madness! He is patient and sympathetic and very empathetic. He cares about his clients in an old-school way, often knowing their families by name, what they do for a living, the level of their activity and other health-related information. One could easily mistake his friendliness for idle chatter, but it has a purpose. An intuitive doctor with powerful instincts, he can sense issues before they manifest symptoms. When that happens, and I am always surprised by his consistent medicinal prowess, he will simply say, "Yea, I know/have read a little bit about that!"
They key for me is that other doctors pick up the phone for him, would fall on a sword for him, and my association has lead me to be treated by some of the most respected doctors/specialists/surgeons in the world (who, incidentally, always praise Dr. Marsh). He is collaborative, intelligent and will go the extra mile to ensure you are well taken care of. He is a fierce advocate for his patients. Truth be told if everyone that he has ever saved wrote a review online on his behalf, there wouldn't be enough room for the love to be received. Yes, there may be a wait (make early appointments) but that's only because he is giving each person his full attention, taking the time to learn more about them, and to share a little about himself; he creates lasting, generational relationships. If he is rushed, then he is dealing with someone that needs his immediate attention. Would you not want that if it were you in need? And I feel compelled to speak to the, "money hungry," comments because that has never been motivation for him. He'd put out the shingle for free if he could (and he often does charity) but there are costs associated with having the perks of being a one-stop shop, for the convenience he offers us. My only regret is that it took me so long to recognize him publically after all he has done for me personally. Dr. Michal Marsh is extraordinary, both as a man of integrity and a skillful GP. read more
