A. M. Marland, MD

Dr. Al 'Mac' Marland is truly an outstanding doctor who deeply cares about his patients. Last year, I had a fast-growing Squamish Cancer on my arm. I called my demonologist, Dr. Chris Schmidt, for an appointment, but he was seriously ill and was not seeing any patients. His receptionist said that Dr. Lee was seeing his patients, so I called Dr. Lee, but I did not receive a response. I called Dr. Marland and ask him to take a look at my arm. He immediately said to come by his office that afternoon. He confirmed that it was cancer and should be removed. I told him about the situation with Dr Schmidt and he said let's walk over to his office--Dr. Schmidt is in the same office complex. Dr. Marland told his receptionist that the cancer should immediately be removed, she made an appointment with Dr. Lee. Thank you Mac

Hello. Dr. Marland has always been attentive to my needs and concerns. He has shown genuine concern in addition to always being professional and polite. He has also been readily available to either meet or speak with about any questions regarding my health and I am glad he is my physician.

I moved to California with my husband a year and a half ago. One of the biggest issues in a move like this is finding replacements for the resources you left behind. My initial primary care physician was opinionated and bombastic. She referred to anti-depressants as a crutch. She asked me to bring in my supplements and then yelled at me for taking them, saying it is just advertising. She violated my privacy by confiding in my husband regarding an issue i'd had that had been resolved, but didn't talk to me about it. My neighbor had mentioned Dr. Marland. What she really liked about him is that he listens and cares. I interviewed him and immediately felt that I wanted him to be my doctor. He is smart, kind, he deeply cares, and most of all, I feel safe. He has made referrals to specialists that are of the same caliber as he is. While my initial primary physician claimed she was collaborative, Dr. Marland is truly collaborative. I have lived in my body for a long time. I am so happy to have someone who will help me live in it for many years to come.

I first met Dr. Marland when I was in the hospital for a diabetes incident. I didn't have a regular doctor and asked him if he would accept me. Thankfully, he did. Whenever I have a question or concern, he immediately addresses it. I understand that the medical profession is a busy one but no matter what he is doing, he takes time out for all of his patients. I know I am a difficult patient as I travel a lot and he keeps on me to make sure I see him, make my appointments and most of all, that I do my best to keep myself in the best shape possible so I don't have any recurring medical issues. Anna, who works in Dr. Marland's office, is an excellent nurse who works diligently with all the patients to make sure we are taken care of before our appointment with Dr. Marland. Dr. Marland is a wonderful doctor who cares for his patients, takes time with us and even celebrates us with his yearly Patient Appreciation Day. I've never had any medical professional do that before and it really means so much to have a doctor who cares so deeply as Dr. Marland does. I cannot recommend Dr. Marland or his practice enough for anyone who wishes to receive the finest in medical care. Lastly, I really like MDVIP as it brings patients and doctors closer together for a mutual medical benefit to enhance our lives for years to come.
