Dr. Murcko is very professional and care greatly for his patients. He has even called in while driving to have his staff contact me to see how I was doing. He is very detail and explains things to me in great detail.

He is a great doctor. Been my doctor since 1999. Tells you how it is in words you can understand. Spends a good amount of time in the room looking at you.

Dr. Murcko has been my cardiologist for 24 years. I have had 13 angioplasties. I would not be here if not for his excellent care. He is straight to the point about things I need to do to take care of myself which I really appreciate

Did not spend time with me; knew what was wrong before he came in the room. Staff called with wrong test results; office manager was rude. I no longer go to Murcko.

Per recommendation of his office staff! Received conflicting reports from office staff - Doctor refused to call me with test results (my GP called). He is short with answers, pre-diagnosed my condition, prescribed unnecessary tests and medicine. Very disappointing.

spent very little time; knew what was wrong without looking at my chart - everybody has coronary heart disease. Tried to scare me - he's scary

Murcko was my doctor for 10 years. I no longer have confidence in him or his practice. Originally he wanted testing every two years staff called said twice a year. Three days after the last test Murckos secretary called said youll need a heart valve in 3-5 years. Got a call the NEXT DAY from someone different, she said, DR. Murcko said everything is fine do I have any questions! The next day I called the Office manager she said Id have to come in for an appointment to find out who was right! AND, If I didnt like it, I should find another cardiologist. Bottom line Murcko never called and I have a different. cardiologist.

I have been a patient of Dr Murcko's for over 24 years now, and highly recommend him. His expertise/knowledge is always up-to-date, and cutting edge. He ensures you as a patient understand what it is you are being told, which helps overcome some of the fears that go along with any cardiac issues.

Dr. Murcko has been my cardiologist for 20 years. I have coronary artery disease. I know I am alive today because of his care. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is an outstanding Dr.
