Mark K Urman, MD, FACC, FASE, FAHA

Dr. Urman is an outstanding Cardiologist. I have seen him for two years now, and he is very thorough and engaged with his patients. Moreover, he knows the literature and understands the latest measures to reduce cholesterol, and to determine pre-​existing heart disease risks. I am thrilled to have found a great Cardiologist!

Dr. Urman is a superlative practitioner. He deeply cares about each of his patients in a way that is sadly harder to find in recent years. He has empathy and a very caring bedside manner. He is top in his field and has helped me immeasurably in dealing with high cholesterol, sensitivity to some anti-​cholesterol medications, and checking all of the risk factors for heart disease (which unfortunately runs in my family).
Dr. Urman also cares for my mother and father-​in-​law and several friends I’ve referred. I know my mom and father-​in-​law in particular appreciate his patience and caring demeanor and his thoroughness in monitoring their conditions and maintaining them with the best care possible. I believe Dr. Urman helped my mother live a much longer life than her heart issues would otherwise have allowed and he helped my mom connect to other specialists who acted as a real team in ensuring that she got the best treatment possible.
Dr. Urman really makes a difference in so many patients’ lives!

Dr. Urman has been our family cardiologist for over 8 years. He cares for my father, mother, and husband, all of whom see him often for check-​ups and tests. My mother and father have high blood pressure and are aging, so Dr. Urman’s meticulous attention to them has given us great peace of mind. In the recent years, Dr. Urman has arisen to the level of Saint. Last week, my father’s gallbladder ruptured, and Dr. Urman was the first physician to take charge on a Sunday afternoon in the ER at Cedars. He not only directed the care swiftly and cautiously, he also brought in the best team, including the surgeon. My father is very strong and at one point resisted having the surgery, to which Dr. Urman convincingly explained it was a life threatening issue. Dr. Urman visited often and kept a close eye on the many possible complications pertaining to my dad’s age and heart. Another time, last year, my mother had major back surgery, and Dr. Urman managed the pre-​op and follow up with complete concern and expertise to ensure her overall heart health endured the ordeal. Dr. Urman’s magic is that he is kind– hearted with an authentic and attentive bedside manner — the type that is rarely seen anymore. At the same time, he is relentlessly proactive and thorough to ensure that the health of my family is preserved, even during setbacks. It’s a small world here in LA because so many of our friends and their parents see Dr. Urman, and we often share words of gratitude for him.
