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.

I had received a brief report on my chart about test results from a diagnostic procedure. I had a lot of very in-depth questions and the provider not only accommodated my wishes for a video appointment, but he answered all of my questions very in-depth, everything I could have asked for and more.
