These are real, verified reviews from patients treated for lung cancer, rib conditions, pleural disease, chest wall problems, and more — across private hospitals in London.
In their own words
From patients who travelled internationally to patients who waited years for the right diagnosis.
“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.”
“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.”
“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 Scarci is a deeply knowledgeable, open-minded, and empathetic surgeon. He has been tirelessly working to get the right surgical team together for me, after an accident 10 years ago that has left me severely disabled. He listens to details and solves problems to truly deliver the most optimal results. As a medical professional myself, I can tell you that finding a specialist like Dr. Scarci is very rare, and it is a privilege to have him in my corner.”
“I have just had a first, remote consultation with Mr Scarci. I am completely stunned and so happy to have found him. In one consultation, he offered clarity on conditions I have been trying to speak to doctors about and get help for some two years, and a positive plan forward.”
Across every stage of care
From first consultation to post-operative recovery — across all conditions and locations.
Mr Scarci operated on my ribs after others had refused to. He understood my concerns and was willing to discuss the technicalities in depth, which was reassuring. He is very well versed and is sharp with his knowledge. I can’t thank him enough for resolving my long standing issue with my broken rib which required a plate fixation.
This was video call so much of the above does not apply but a very informative conversation with Mr. Scarcity.
Dr Scarci is very caring and takes the time to listen to your concerns and explain them. He is very prompt and knowledgeable in multi disciplinary endometriosis.
Doctor Scarci from start to finish, the experience is always exceptional- professional, thorough, explains everything clearly, and makes sure you feel completely comfortable throughout. The consultations are never rushed,.I always leave feeling reassured, supported, Thank you Dr!
Marco and the staff at the Cromwell Hospital could not be faulted. All my appointments both pre, during and post were punctual, kind, polite and informative.. Marco and the team listened and fully answered my questions and we were able to an informed discussion about the treatment plan. I was in the hospital for a total of 4 days and the food was exceptional with good variety of fresh food, it made all the difference.
The consultation was quite quick. A little longer to explain the events before my making contact, would have been good
very professional Dr

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.

I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Scarci who carried out surgery on my lung at the London Clinic. Mr Scarci was extremely clear and patient in explaining the procedure beforehand and put me entirely at ease. The surgery wentbvery well for which I am extremely grateful

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. AB (retired Detective Inspector).
