    I am a liver transplant recipient. I have been with Marilyn for most of my 15 years as a transplant patient. I credit my success to her caring and ability to refer me to other doctors when needed. She is the best.

    I had a visit with Marlyn Newby two years ago & I really liked her. I wanted her to be my PCP. Marlyn Newby is very personable, friendly, caring & compassionate. She is knowledgeable & explains everything well. She listens & answers my questions. She made sure I got my blood test results right away.

    I'm not extremely happy with Marlyn right now. A problem came up with my thyroid. I do understand that this was not the main reason for my appointment, but I expected that she might palpate my thyroid to see if there was a mass, and that at the very least she would advise me on what dose of levothyroxine I should be taking now and when I should get retested. She did none of those things. She simply referred me to an endocrinologist, with no guidance whatsoever on how to deal with this urgent issue in the meantime. The doctor she wanted me to see is not available for months, but I was able to make an appointment with a PA at Optum Endocrinology. I still should not have been left to myself for weeks, unsure what to do, with this going on.

    She is the absolute best. Having said that, she is very busy and getting appointments take time. When you want the best, sometimes you have to wait.
