I recently had my first visit with Dr. Marino, since my long-term doctor retired. I was concerned about have a new unfamiliar doctor after 25 years with my previous one, but I found Dr. Marino to be professional, patient, thorough, and efficient. I don't know how it could have gone better. And, as always, the office staff was great. If you're looking for friendly banter, go out drinking with your friends. If you are looking for a physician, Dr. Marino seems very qualified and worthy of your consideration. read more

Let me begin with this .... DR MARINO DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HIS PATIENTS !!!!!!!! He is quick prescribe medication that you do not need , only to make his job easier. I got a new insurance plan and I'm trying to get back onto the medication I was taking for YEARS. I scheduled an appointment with Dr Marino , and instead of actually listening to his patient . He quickly refers me to a therapist and QUICKLY prescribes a medication that I told him did not work with me . So he will prescribe another drug I don't need but not the one I've been taking for YEARS .....? Obviously he wasn't listening to me describe my health history during our appointment and he had already made up his decision before I even finished !!! I had called his office to request a phone call from Dr Marino (as I designated him as my Primary Care Doctor) and they told me he doesn't call his patients...... A Dr that won't even speak to his OWN patients !!?!? Oh, and I forgot to mention .... Since I couldn't actually speak to Dr Marino, The receptionist I spoke to says to me at the end, "sounds like you need to find another Dr.....!" in a very snarky tone . I have a feeling she's only there for the paycheck and is the proper fit as she doesn't care about the patients either! Again .... DR MARINO DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HIS PATIENTS !!!!!!! HE ONLY CARES ABOUT YOUR MONEY!!!!!! (..... Just like his own staff!) read more

This guy is the biggest jerk off of a doctor I have ever encountered, and trust me I've been to many doctors. He is rude, condescending, has a huge chip on his shoulder. If you do go see him, be prepared to be treated and talked to like a child. I am shocked to see that he even has patients. I am very very disappointed and WOULD NOT recommend that anyone see him!!! read more

This guy is just not very professional. His attitude was rude. He did not seem to have the patient to me when I was seeing him. When I tried to explain to him my family was sick and he started to raise his voice and said I gave him too much details. He made me feel bad after seeing him. He is the worst doctor I ever met. My husband and I were sick and had the same symptom. He saw a different doctor and he felt better already. I saw Frank Marino and I still cough like crazy. He just should not be a doctor. read more

Dr. Marino has been my parent's doctor since he stared his practice. They are in their upper 80's and absolutely love the Doctor and his staff. My father would have died in 2009 if Dr Marino had not discovered an Aneurism on his aorta that was significant in size. The surgeon could not belive that this was indentifed during a routine physical. Trust me, this Doctor and his staff, care deeply about their patients. read more

This doctor was recommended to me by someone I used to know so when my need to see a doctor came, I made an appt. w/Dr. Marino. When I got there for my appt. I noticed the front desk person was the nurse and the clinic looked like my Jr. High front area used to look like - chaotically disorganized. This should've been a clue to turn around and leave but I stayed like the fool I am. The nurse quickly asked me to pay my co-pay w/my insurance then she took me to a room where I had to wait for the Dr. Then Dr. Marino came in and asked me why a was there. I explained and I was surprised in how disrespectful he was. I don't know if he had a bad morning or he had a problem that morning with someone else. Immediately I got on the defensive and shortly after that his voice was at high volume. The way one talks to child who won't move or obey. Me, it was my first time even meeting this jerk of a doctor and I wasn't a child nor someone who didn't obey. So, I decided to walk out. Good for this doctor who got to charge my insurance for my visit only he had to do nothing else than to disrespect me. I hope this doctor gets his because it was uncalled for how he treated me for just visiting his practice that morning. I'd like to believe this was meant to happen so I wouldn't het misdiagnosed or be given something that would've harmed me. read more

Been seeing Dr. Marino for years upon recommendation from one of his (former) colleagues. Always polite, formal. Does not chitchat but zero's onto my conditions. Takes time to back diagnosis. Staff actually calls me for follow-ups. Have several chronic conditions; never have issues when meds need to be refilled. read more

My current physician is retiring & Dr. Marino has joined the practice. I decided to have Dr. Marino take a look at a small growth on my neck. My wait itme was short, the Dr was prompt & courteous & took the time to discuss the possibilities. He put in for a referral. It doesn't seem possible that this is the same Dr. the others commented on. read more

I'm not even sure where to begin.First I'll say I have been seeing him for over 10years.Myproblems was when he sent me to Orange Coast Memorial in Fountain Valley November 2011, this was for a routine colonoscopy with Dr. Duke Nguyen. This according to the doctor went alright. He said that I had a few polyps and removed them.So within a month I started to had blood, diarrhea and major hemorrhoids. He then sent me to A cancer specialist named Dr. Shbeeb in Los Alamitos, This doctor after a few visits claimed I had a mas that needed to be removed (oh and his surgery center that he owned was across the street). He told me the mass was very small and was removed with no problem. Meanwhile nothing changed ( wait i should say that yet). I'm not even sure what came next. I'll start with a swollen ankle went to him again and back I go to Orange Coast with another huge co-pay. They were afraid that I had a blood clot, so they did a sonogram and found nothing. He then sent me to a Urology doctor she was an excellent doctor her name is Dr. Hovey. Back I go into the hospital to have a stent put in another high co-pay, but my leg went back to normal. I don'y mean to be going on and on but I have been through hell these last 4 and half years. My next problem was my glands were all swollen so back again I go. The staff told me I had Lymphom Cancer through out my whole body. I stayed overnight so they could do surgery in the morning to confirm, They cut me on the right side of my hip and took a sample. Test came back no cancer. My next major problem(its the biggest one)happened in Feb. of 2015. I'm at home and I start to have a seizure and fall down our stairs. I wake up at UCI in Orange. More test on the brain this time and lets not forget about the co-pay again.They found nothing,so then in April of 2015 I knew something was wrong again!!!! So my niece drops me off at UCI in Orange. I go into the emergency and tell the girl behind the desk that I had been in there a few weeks ago for seizures and as I'm talking to her my speech is fuc*k up and can barely speek but did tell her i'm having another one. So waht does she do but give me a gown and to go change in the changing room. So I did and the last thing I remember was taking my shirt off. The next memory was Sunday after noon waking up with 7 stitches in my head and a brace around my neck. I had fallen and had blood in my brain (which then starts another set of doctors). So Dr.M then send me to what I called my brain doctor her name is Dr. Bixby. She then subscribes and medication called Vimpac. This is now July of 2015, so I'm at home and I start doing odd things according to my family like fighting not to eat, playing pica-boo from up stairs. So my sister (that you god for them) called Lyn and she said if it was her brother she would take him to emergency so the take me out front and I start flopping around on the grass like a fish. So another ambulance comes for me and takes me to UCI in Orange. They could not figure out what was going on. I was completely out of it for 19 days. I lost 21 pounds and finally an intern their named Dr. Vu figured out it was the Vimpac. After been told I was not going to come out of it, my family was been told to make the arrangements. When I would come to I was saying things like Oprah was coming to see me, and that homeless people were outside my window bothering me ( I was on the 4th floor) Then I started running down the halls pushing other patients doors open and yelling they ware trying to kill me. After 19 days I finally came back to my old self. They were so re leaved. My family and the staff. Dr. Bixby came me a huge huge the next time I seen her and told me hat she was going to figure out another medication to go on. I still to this day am waiting for her call. So I decided to go back to see the intern Dr. Vu at UCI. This being really the first time meeting him. He gave me another med which I'm on today. So Im not done yet. My employer changed medical plans and Dr. M was not on this plan. So Blue Shield gave me another doctor to go see. He name is Dr. Boatran Vo at UCI in irvine. I told her the problems about the diarrhea and pooping 10 times a day. She had me go to the lab and get contains for a poop test. So I did and returned it to the lab in Orange, A few days later they call me to come in right away and told me i had an infection. So I go in the next day and she told me I tested positive for c diff. Mean while another insurance problem and that Dr. Voo could not be my primary. I had lost my job and had to go on Obama care. So I call and they said they did take that insurance. Dr. Voo had given me a prescription for an antibiotic which I was in the middle of taking when I went back to see him. This BTW this was Feb-March of 2016. When I told him he seemed to not believe me about having c diff. I'm out of room here. C diff and him not testing my poop 4 years ago has ruined me.(i hadtocombinemysenteces) read more
