Dr. Toni Marcheskie, MD

I had a disappointing experience with Dr. Marcheskie at Lock Haven UPMC Emergency. Despite presenting concerning symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, waves of nausea, a dropping sensation, and tingling pins and needles, my condition was dismissed as anxiety. This was especially frustrating given that another doctor had previously suggested a possible musculoskeletal issue. The symptoms continued to occur, becoming more frequent, even happening overnight before my second ER visit with Dr. Marcheskie. I also requested head imaging, but she resisted and labeled me as demanding in my chart. To make matters worse, I was subjected to a drug screening without consent or explanation. The lack of transparency and the dismissal of my concerns left me feeling unheard and misrepresented. I hope the hospital reviews this case to improve communication and patient care in the future. I drove 35 minutes to a different UPMC as I had an episode later that week and was met with great care.

This lady bedside manner is very terrible. Very rude and disrespectful when someone is sick and not feeling well. Can you imagine how she would treat the elderly and ones that are not coherent. If she treats one that’s alert and to tell patients if you don’t like it to leave. She should have never got her license to be MD.
