Dr. Mari Anne Madsen, MD

Unpleasant bedside manner and indicated that she doesn’t have a crystal ball when I asked a question, very unprofessional. Received a second opinion by another doctor, and had a much better outcome and resolution.

Mari Madsen MD After completing a colonoscopy in 2022 my doctor said that a polyp in a Diverticulosis pouch would have to be removed surgically including a small portion of my colon. I was referred to Mari Madsen, MD for a laparoscopic Hemicolectomy. During my first visit, even though I was nervous, Dr. Madsen put me at ease and reviewed my information. She discussed what was involved with the surgical procedure and answered all of my questions. I found Dr. Madsen to be very personable, a good listener who patiently addressed all of my questions and a straight shooter. Dr. Madsen went over the entire surgical procedure and answered all my questions . She provided me with an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Guidebook which contained information which addressed any/all questions I had from Pre-surgery prep to Post Op. The ERAS Guidebook was excellent, and I often reviewed the information to ensure I knew what was expected of me and exactly what would happen during and after the surgery. The day of surgery at AAMC, Dr. Madsen and her team were excellent and explained everything to me before I was sedated. By following the ERAS process, minimal pain medications were required and I knew exactly what was expected of me to ensure a quick recovery. Just as Dr. Madsen said, I felt a little better every day and very quickly I was back to normal (except no lifting over 10 lbs). I found Dr. Madsen and her entire team to be excellent and would highly recommend Dr. Madsen to others faced with my situation. Christine D.

The people who put bad reviews are exactly correct. That is exactly what the office and the Dr are like 100%

Dr Madsen was terrific. She was professional, friendly and explained the procedure so I knew what to expect. Most importantly she fixed my problem.

No one wants to have to see a Colorectal surgeon but let me tell you when you have a surgeon like Mari Madsen it makes a huge difference. Dr. Madsen has been great in making a horrible and uncomfortable situation less awful. She is genuinely caring, warm, yet blunt when needed to be. In addition I rarely spend more than 10 minutes in the waiting room and yet she sits down during our appts to answer all questions without rushing. Thank you, Dr Madsen for being wonderful. The world needs more people like you.

I am in awe with Dr Madsen. She soothed my fears, educated me and Although I always expected each visit to be torture she made me laugh and I always left feeling at ease. She truly is one of the most wonderful doctors I’ve ever Met.

This office was recommended to me by one of my other doctors. When I walked in, the staff was very rude and not friendly at all. The receptionist was very unprofessional on the phone with a client and everyone there seemed so miserable as if they hate their job. The office is old and it doubles as some kind of children's center - not quite sure- it was a little confusing. Dr. Madsen was not nice at all, and does not come off as warm and caring as the other reviews mentioned. I do not recommend going here- there must be better places with warm, welcoming staff and a doctor that doesn't make you feel like you are an idiot.

This visit was terrible from start to finish. Before getting to my appointment they called and asked if I could come in an hour early to meet their needs, I explained that I could not and their tone was very rude and the women responded "see you later" and hung up. When I walked in the door there were two girls up front. Neither said hello. One said "I need your insurance card" and handed me a clipboard. When I was done filling it out the other girl said "it's a $40 copay" and took my money, that was our only interaction. I was taken back, the doctor took a look at me, told me there was nothing evidently wrong, and asked me questions. One question was vague and when I responded "kind of" she responded firmly with "it's a yes or no question" this was just one of her rude responses. I would never recommend this office to anyone. Everyone this is miserable and in turn makes your experience miserable.

I highly recommend Dr Madsen. Her professionalism is without question! The procedure she performed on me came through with flying colors. Anne Arundel Medical center is lucky to have her on their staff. Not only is she my doctor, I consider her my friend.

I had seen a few other Colo-rectal doctors before Dr. Madson, but then was refereed to her. Even though it was half way across town, with the LA gridlock traffic, it was very well worth it. Dr. Mari Madson is the BEST in her field that I have seen in the greater Los Angeles area. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. Don't waste your time with the others.

Dr. Madsen is the nicest, kindest, most professional MD I have ever known. She took the time to listen to me and gave clear and professional answers to my questions. I'm so happy that the world still has doctors who have the same compassion for their patients as the MD's from the past. What a prize!

Mari has great bedside manner, good communication, she cares and she is a first rate surgeon. From the first to last appointment and the surgeries in between, I never had any doubts that I was getting the best

She was smart, kind, thorough, and made a scary procedure not bad at all.

I really enjoy Dr. Madsen.. My experience of her office staff is negative. They never introduce themselves whether when answering the phone or greeting you at the front counter. Some appear unhappy. Dr. Madsen could use a staff makeover.

I was in a lot of pain and discomfort. Dr. Madsen waited for me after a referal from my primary doctor. She is exemplary!

She saved my life. I am still alive because of her. What more do you want? She looks very young. She is not. Anyway, don't judge by youthful cover it makes you appear ageist. Give her a chance to save your life, too.

Great skill, great attitude and energy. Madsen is top-notch. I trust her implicitly and would not hesitate to highly recommend her.

I have never felt such little rapport with a DR before. I got the feeling she did not take my concerns seriously -- and - as a matter of fact she misdiagnosed me. I had a terribly itchy butt -- but it was red and inflamed - which she ignored. I finally went to a Dermatologist -- who properly treated me and gave me effective creams -- which I did not get out of Dr. Madsen.

Her office staff basically is rude and misinforms about her policies. Then, they lie about what they have said. Further, she does not call back a patient. Additionally, 4 doctors disagree with her diagnosis.

These women were rude, unorganized and seemed to HATE their jobs....NEVER have I been treated as terrible as I was by these women!
