He is the best person. I think it because of Merittas he is kept way to busy. He's not what he use to be. Believe his visits are time limited because of the company. Merittas wants quantity not quality. They push him to hard. It's all about making money. But Dr Marx's is very compassionate and caring. Hope they aren't burning you out Doc.

He is overbooked, distracted, doesn't spend enough time with his patients, and I cannot recommend unless you have really generic needs.

What a great dr.!! But he is too busy! The first time I went I was early for my appointment, I had to wait almost an hour past my appointment time. I was apologized to, and assured it wouldn't happen again, it was just a bad day at the office. The next time I went, same thing. I was early, abs had to wait 40 minds past my appointment time. He is a great dr. and totally with the wait.

Dr. Marx is the most caring doctor I have ever been to. My daughter and I have been going to him for 9 years now. He is very efficient yet thorough and listens and answers all of my questions with compassion.
