Highly recommend Dr Error! Even though it was very clear within the first few minutes that I am not a good fit for the medical procedure which he specializes in, Dr Error went above and beyond to answer lots of questions during my consultation. He was compassionate, honest and very understanding of my medical condition and had already spoken with other members of my health care team prior to my consult. He explained treatment options and outcomes and helped me understand the risks associated with various procedures. Truly a compassionate skilled and knowledgeable physician who cares about his patients. Words cannot express my gratitude that he is on my health care team.

I had an appointment with Dr. Marc Error. He and his assistant, Stacy, are why I love going to the U for my health care issues. I had seen another ENT (not at the U) and wanted a second opinion. Dr. Error was light years better than the previous ENT at explaining what was wrong and what my options for treatment were. He listened carefully and then spoke clearly in a language that a non medical person can understand. I recommend him highly to anyone in need of an ENT doctor.

Dr. Error and his scribe, Sebastian, were of great help for my visit. Patient, kind, and gentle with my painful ear. Dr. Error provided instructions prior to my follow up and Sebastian reiterated before I left to ensure I understood. The PRS was kind and got me in right away.

Dr. Error was great! When another physician refers one for a recommendation of a tonsillectomy it's pretty scary; especially as an aging patient. He read the notes and listened and examined me carefully. His warmth and caring made what could made me feel at ease. As did the fact that the tonsillectomy wasn't needed

Feb 17, 2025
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

Marc didn't read or didn't have access to any information as to why I was referred to his clinic. He acted like I'd been told I didn't need follow up care when in fact I was referred precisely because my primary care provider thought I needed a follow up. I wish Marc could have been more helpful in explaining what was clearly a mistake on my primary care provider's part, but instead I left his office feeling invalidated and confused. He needs to exhibit better listening skills, and he should have already known why I was referred.
