Dr. Frank Marinkovich, MD

Urgent care referred me here and it felt like this clinic kept trying to pressure me to seeing the chiropractors that work in the same building and scheduling follow-ups. It would be best to look for chiropractor and/or physical therapist elsewhere that could help. Get a second option

Dr. Frank is very compassionate, is a good listener, and always takes time with you. He is excellent at diagnosing problems. I highly recommend him!

On two occasions messed up my blood work. Was not well prepared for my appointments.

I have never seen a doctor so condescending in my life (especially to women..I have talked to nurses who worked for him). He claimed to be a sports medicine doctor and a this and that doctor...no credentials that I could see. His staff were great and I don't know how they can work for him...I give him NO stars!

I have a serious work related injury. My chiropractor suggested that I go see Dr. Marinkovich in order to get a prescription for an anti-inflammatory. First of all, when I called in to get an appointment, the office assistant tried her very best to get my insurance information out of me more than once. If you have an L and I case you do not need to provide your insurance information. She told me I was wrong. Then I show up for the appointment 10 minutes early to fill out paperwork regarding medical history. I was 1 of 2 people in the waiting room/lobby. I finished the paperwork in 10 minutes. 45 minutes later, I was called back to a room. I was then left to sit there for 10 more minutes before the doctor came in. He asked me all of the questions that I had already answered on the paperwork that I filled out. He then threw 2 robes on the bed and said "Change into these." He then left for 5-10 minutes to make a few phone calls. When he returned he asked me, because of where I… work, if I knew a certain person. This person happens to be my manager. He then proceeded to say "She is a patient here. That woman has had quite the battle." He kept going before I cut him off and redirected his focus. He asked me what my pain level was at and I told him that I was at about a 7. He then proceeded to jab (not just lightly poke) my back. I was instantly in so much pain that I started to cry and he said I'm sorry but I have to do this if you want answers. He roughly, very roughly, poked around my back for a few minutes. He then sat down and said that I needed to discontinue all types of therapy and start taking medication instead. He said that before we continued he would need to take X-rays, mri's and have another examination done. He did not trust the chiropractor's diagnosis of my back and said that I should basically start from scratch and that he would set it all up for me. At this point, I told him that I wanted a second opinion and he said "Oh, so you don't feel that today went well? Do you mind telling me why?" I was still crying at this point and I told him that I didn't think that I owed him any kind of explanation and that if we were done here that I would like to leave. He stayed in the room for multiple minutes more and tried to bully my reasoning for wanting to leave out of me. I have had serious back problems for 10 years and have seen a wide variety of doctors. This was, by far, the worst experience that I have ever had with a medical professional. If you have another option for a doctor, I highly encourage you to take that option and to stay far FAR away from this doctor.

I picked this doctor out of the blue (haven't had a pcp in years)so I booked a preventive annual exam with him. He seemed courteous and talkative during the first visit, nothing bad to say at that point. He informed me that as standard they run a blood workup, which we did, and when the results came back, he would write on them regarding areas I could improve and if things were of concern he would write "see me." when I got the results back, they were misleading in how they were written (by labcorp) and I was hoping the dr's notes would help explain them but...there were no notes at all. ingot a call a couple days later from his staff asking me to come back in. When I asked why I was told "some of your results are out of the normal range" and after much inquiring, they refused to tell me anything else. Not a word. I called again later to ask if there was a medical assistant that could explain what they meant by that so I could decide if I should go back in. I was told that dr. Doesn't… have a medical assistant and the only way to get any more information was to come back in. Long story short, his only concern was my blood pressure seemed to be pre-hypertension, which could be serious down the road, but that could have been written on the lab results as promised. We spent the second visit arguing about this miscommunication on his end and his argument was "do you want me to write down my advise for free" thats pretty much a direct quote. So if you want to go to someone that prizes money over his patients. Go to this doctor.
