Marvin D. Atkins, MD

A very good informative meeting with Dr. Atkins who explained my problems and a eventuel procedure and its problems end success very well.

Dr Atkins is a wonderful doctor and a great man! So thankful to have him taking care of me

Dr. Atkins went all in on explaining my condition and the treatments. He was both professional and personalible.

Needs to slow down a little when explaining Was thorough but seemed in a hurry.

Nurses, PA and Doctor were extremely helpful, professional. Explained procedure Including upside and small percentage of downside.Well done and in my opinion very complete.

Doctor Atkins engenders and demonstrates the highest levels of care and attention.

I was referred to Dr. Atkins by my health insurance for subclavian steel syndrome. If I had to do it again I would have ignored my insurance and found someone actually familiar with it. Dr. Atkins was supposed to take a vein from my leg to replace the one running down my arm but I ended up in and out of surgery three times over the course of a few days, had to have a blood transfusion and was in ICU for the better portion of a week and instead of three incisions had seven running up my left arm and both legs. I don't remember a lot of the time in ICU as having that much anesthesia pumped into me has destroyed my memory of the time but I do know there was paperwork I was made to sign to allow the subsequent surgeries when I was not in my right mind. Which wouldn't have been a problem, BUT, after a year the the third graft he put in also failed and since he used all excess veins in my leg on the first two botched surgeries there are no longer any available to try and have another doctor… correct the problem. I know this because when I went for a follow up Dr Atkins told me there was nothing he can do, sorry. Sorry? Sorry for making my quality of life significantly worse than it was before I ever came to see you? Sorry you didn't refer me to someone who knew what they were doing in the first place? Maybe sorry you made it impossible for another doctor to try and fix the mess you made of my appendages. So yeah, if you're having heart issues or whatever, he's probably ok but do not go to see this man for subclavian steel syndrome. You'll come away with giant scars, loss of feeling in half your face, diminished blood flow in your legs and pretty much no blood flow in your arm.

Dr Atkins performed a femoral to popliteal artery bypass on me in June,'12. His thoroughness and follow up are among the best I have ever experinced. He is personable, talks to me, not down to me. The biggest problem I had was with his students. They seem slightly oblivious to anyone's pain.
