Bio

Dr. Marrouche has dedicated his career to developing innovative research and clinical practices to advance patient care, diagnosis and treatment of heart arrhythmias. In 2006, at the University of Utah, he created the Comprehensive Arrhythmia Research and Management Center (CARMA) bringing together a cross-departmental team of physicians, scientists, researchers, MRI and imaging specialists dedicated to working collaboratively to answer the questions: What if we treated patients proactively instead of reactively? Moreover, what if we could predict and prevent a stroke in a patient before it happens? Under the guidance of Dr. Marrouche, the CARMA Center developed the Utah Classification System enabling electrophysiologists and cardiologists to deliver individualized care to arrhythmia patients. In addition to presenting his work across the globe, he is the director of the Western Atrial Fibrillation Symposium.

Dr. Marrouche received his medical degree from the Medical School at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. He has completed several clinical clerkships at numerous locations including: infectious disease, pulmonary medicine and vascular surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, General surgery at the University of Bristol, England, in cardiac surgery at the West Roxbury VA at Harvard Medical School; and in general cardiology and electrophysiology at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle.

Dr. Marrouche completed training in Internal Medicine and Cardiology at Klinikum Coburg, the teaching hospital of the University of Wurzburg in Germany. This was followed by a fellowship in Eletrophysiology at the Univerisy of California, San Francisco. The Cleveland Foundation then offered a fellowship in the Section of Pacing and Electrophysiology in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine. After spending time at the Cleveland Clinic, he accepted a faculty position at the University of Utah .

Dr. Marrouche's research interests include the pathophysiology and new imaging modalities for treatment of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.

Always nice to talk with Dr. Marrouche, NP Jessiciah Winderfield or NP LeeAnn Williams

May 03, 2013

The best.

April 22, 2013

I am impressed with the entire staff and their professionalism

April 15, 2013

I would definitely recommend Dr. Marrouche and his staff.They are always professional, always up to date in their field and always respectful of the patient and their time!

March 12, 2013

I just need more explanation of the test given and future expectation.

February 12, 2013

Dr Marrouche and my Nurse Sara were both awesome! They were both all about business and making sure we get to the bottom of things. Overall great experience with the two.

January 14, 2013

Everyone was awesome. The nurse Melissa was exceptional. Jessiciah was particularly informative and knowledgeable

December 18, 2012

very good

November 26, 2012

The physician was in the room 5 minutes or less. He acted as though he was doing his job and nothing more. He was not at all friendly.

October 31, 2012

Would not dream of going to any other doctor for my heart problems. Have had bad experiences with others but never Dr. Marrouche.

October 29, 2012

I hope Dr. Marrouche is as good as he thinks he is. His bedside manner is rushed, strained, and one sided. I felt like I was imposing on his time.

October 23, 2012

I appreciate the conservative approach, and cessation of questionable medication prescribed by previoius caregiver.

October 18, 2012

Dr. Marouche and his staff are excellent and have treated me great!!!!

September 18, 2012

The care, concern and level of expertise in the cardiac clinic is exceptional

September 18, 2012

Very bad communicating

September 17, 2012

highly competant

September 10, 2012

the dr said he wanted to see me again in about 2 days, howerver the clinic made me an appoitment for 6 mo. I asked the clinic about the discrepincy, they said the dr is busy and doesn't really remember when he sees his patients.

August 13, 2012

We are incredibly happy with Dr Marrouche, and if we were answering this survey based solely on his care, the answers would have been all fives. We would recommend him to anyone, however each interaction we have had with Jessiciah has been ridiculous. She is condescending and unhelpful. She is unresponsive and difficult to work with, which interferes with treatment. Her actions at this visit directly impacted and delayed treatment by 2 days, and would have delayed it even further had another professional not intervened and corrected her errors. Her work was sloppy, and could have resulted in serious harm had it not been for a Pharmacist who caught her error, and spent 2 days trying to contact her to correct it.

August 13, 2012

Dr. Marrouche is an outstanding cardiologist he and his staff make sure you and your family understand fully what will take place. He is very caring and my husband loves to visit with him in arabic :)

July 23, 2012

good

June 11, 2012

Certainly, Dr. Marrouche is outstanding in his field and I appreciate that the University of Utah made such a service available. Please understand that I have the highest opinion greatest respect for Mr. Marrouche's skill and am grateful to have had him do my surgery. I probably would not be alive now without his knowledge and skill.

May 16, 2012

during my visits to UU I have been treated by MD's, PA's, NP's. ALL have been capable, compassionate, involved, and SMART

May 16, 2012

Love love love Dr. M and his staff. Only area for improvement is in coordinating scheduling of echo, MRI and next Dr. M visit -- needs nudging on my part to get that all done.

May 02, 2012

the best heart doctors in the state

May 02, 2012

very good

April 25, 2012

Have recommended Dr. Marrouche to several relatives and friends.

February 28, 2012

all were very informative instructive and understanding...me i was tired, irritable and hungry. everything was as it should be for any procedure. i have always had difficulties being patient ..thank you

February 22, 2012

Excellent visit-- friendly and helpful.

February 22, 2012

The attending had the worst bedside manner I have ever experienced. He saw me for less then 3 minutes--- asked me several questions about my medical history without letting me respond. Told me the additional test he wanted and that he would call with the results. Then told me to have a nice day and left the room. I was never able to answer the questions he asked me nor able to ask him anything. He also said he disagreed with his fellow and that we would proceed how he wanted. I felt it was completely inappropriate to challenge his fellow in front of a patient and left me uncertain of who was the better judge of my condition-- the fellow who actually took the time to see me, but had less training, or the attending who had more training and spent no time even assessing my case? I would never return to see this doctor and I would never recommend him. When I go to the doctor, I expect to have to wait a long time and I expect to see the doctor very little. But this experience was far worse than any other I have had.

February 08, 2012

Every one at the hospital was very professional and did a good job of taking care of me.

February 01, 2012

I always felt that they were genuinely concerned.

January 25, 2012

I was a little frustrated that I had specifically asked my provider if I should wear a holter when I was having palpitations, was told to just take my meds, and the resolution at my appointment was to wear the monitor. I could have had it done and been able to see the results by now.

January 11, 2012

We have had good exeperiences every time we meet with the doctors in cardiology.

January 04, 2012

I have recommended the provider to my friends.
