Listens to you takes interest in your health. Easy to talk to

01/10/2026

I feel that the Kates-Marsh interaction is as valuable as the actual medical services that She provides. After all, a one on one visit is not just a sterile, clinical visit, but a psychological and emotional encounter as well. With that in mind, I would whole heartedly recommend Dr Kates to friends and family.

SHE IS A VERY DEDICATED DOCTOR TO HER SPECIALTY. SHE ASKS MANY QUESTIONS WHICH IS FINE WITH ME AND SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT EVERY PATIENT SHOULD WANT SO SHE GETS THE WHOLE PICTURE OF WHY YOU ARE THERE TO SEE HER. BUT SHE IS NOT SO SERIOUS AS TO BE AN ALARMIST. SHE HAS NO PROBLEM ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS. I THINK SHE IS A VERY WELL ROUNDED DOCTOR IN HER FIELD AND THAT IS A GOOD REASON FOR THE SCORE. KUDOS TO WHOEVER PUT HER ON THE STAFF.

07/16/2025

Dr. Marsh Kates has three very good medical skills that impressed me the first time I met her and had those same three skills today too. she is a good listener to what you say, she asks questions to be sure she understands you, and she explains her thinking on the matter in language you can understand. she does not try to impress you with a lot of medicalese. she has a friendly nature and this puts you at ease since a cardiologist can be a doctor that is kind of scary due to the nature of why you are seeing her

Dr. Marsh “read” my medical history before we met. She was thorough in her exam. I appreciated the tests she ordered, and the summary given to me was a narrative that flagged the issues of concern.
