Mark R Magnusson, MD

Dr. Magnusson is not well versed in the chronically ill child. He does not follow through & when you question he belittles both the child & parent. He misdiagnosed my child, verbally abused us & called child services because we asked to see another doctor to get a second opinion. Magnusson also took it upon himself to call my child's GP to complain about us. Thankfully our GP & child services saw him for the egotistical doctor he is. He does not care about children & has no bedside manner. I have found 4 other families through a support group that had the same experience with him. CHOP needs to start earning their reputation.

Six (6) years ago (2005), when no doctor in Puerto Rico could treat and/or diagnose my son illnesses, I went to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Dr. Magnusson was the doctor who received us (my wife, my one year old son and me) and managed my son's case. He was an excellent doctor and, above all, person, who tried everything until he found the condition affecting my son. He treated us in a very kind and friendly way. Now six years later my kid is in excellent shape,an extremely normal child, with no major illnesses thank to the treatment that Dr. Magnusson prescribed. I'll be forever gratefull to Dr. Magnusson for being an excellent doctor, caregiver and person who made my child's life a better and normal one.

Dr. Magnusson does not appear to listen well to concerns of the patient or his/her parents. He offered little help in diagnosing our child's condition.
