✦ Exceptional ★★★★★

“As a Doctor, I can say with utmost confidence that you will simply not find a cardiothoracic surgeon with the same depth and breadth of knowledge as Mr Marco Scarci. He is the most brilliant and compassionate cardiothoracic surgeon I have encountered. I am travelling to him from the United States despite the fact that I am affiliated with Johns Hopkins and my husband is a pulmonary and critical care physician at Brown. He deserves to be in the surgical hall of fame.”

Thymoma — told inoperable elsewhere
★★★★★

“I was diagnosed in March with a rare condition. My local hospital said it was inoperable due to the size of the mass. In what was a life-changing situation for me, Mr Scarci reassured me the thymoma was resectable. I was confident in his ability and felt my life was safe in his hands. I was booked for surgery the following week where he successfully removed the entire tumour. A big thank you to Mr Scarci and the rest of the team.”

6 years of NHS bouncing — resolved
★★★★★

“I had rib pain for 6 years, was bounced around NHS without diagnosis at my wits end. I was recommended to Mr Scarci — at consultation within minutes he knew what the problem was: slipping rib syndrome. Most importantly it could be fixed. Was then offered surgery date the next week. 2 weeks post surgery I am almost back to full health. I truly cannot recommend Mr Scarci highly enough — he is simply amazing!”

Dr Marco at The Cromwell Hospital, Bupa, was Very compassionate, caring, kind and very knowledgeable.

As soon as he looked at my scans and found my problem, he straight away offered me definitive treatment which was surgery. He understood that i am young and my pain could not be managed long term so he cared to fix me permanently which is so refreshing and has my respect. Other surgeons may take you on a journey, though Pain Management but Dr Marco got straight to the definitive option.

As a lung cancer patient living on the Isle of Anglesey and referred for urgent surgery, I’ve undertaken two virtual consultations with Mr Scarci. Despite the serious nature of our discussions and the somewhat unusual methodology for my wife and I, these consultations worked extremely well. We found the experience very convenient and most satisfactory. Mr Scarci is a very lovely man, very easy to relate to, and quite obviously a man at the leading edge of his profession. Our discussions were open, relaxed, informative, and ultimately extremely reassuring. He left me in no doubt that surgery was the most appropriate treatment and completely confident that as a patient of Marco Scarci, I’m in the best hands possible. Thank you very much Sir.
