If you are in need of a urologist, I strongly urge you to AVOID Daniel Marchalik with this group.

Of course I do my due diligence every and double check with my insurance each time before reaching out to MedStar to re-confirm that indeed they haven't received the documentation. This has been very time consuming as calling MedStar means waiting...read full review
