Patient Comments
Dr Marcus is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to listen to/address my many questions/concerns. Also impressed with the new AI software that assisted with visit notes. This is a great tool as it allowed him to have a one on one conversation with me instead of typing on the computer.

Dr. Marcus spent a lot of time with explanations and going over my options. He thoroughly answered all of my questions and compassionately listened to my concerns. Best "bedside manner" I have ever experienced. He seems to truly care about my overall wellness.

Dr. Marcus is fantastic! I was a few minutes late due to construction and coming to a different office than I typically do for my appointment, but Dr. Marcus was very understanding and still spent time with me during our visit to address my concerns about need for a potential adjustment in my treatment regimen. He discussed treatment options as well as risks and benefits of each treatment with me to allow for shared decision making about which treatment would be best for me as an individual. He explains things in a way that is easy to understand, and his kindness and compassion is evident in the way he cares for his patients.
