    Getting a good fit with a provider is hard to figure out in advance. I would recommend Dr Marcus without hesitation but explain that he is more focused and efficacious than a nurturing type of physician. This is ok. It's an observation not a judgment. I am very satisfied with the care received.

    I had a fairly brief consultation with Dr Marcus which he had scheduled at my request. It did allow sufficient time to address my main questions. I will be able to use the upcoming Care Team call to address my remaining questions.
