      Dr Marcus is very friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and willing to help. He listened carefully and answered my questions thoroughly. He is considerate, encouraging and provided options for the management and helped me to choose at my comfort level. Previously he answered my questions promptly on MyChart. He is wonderful!

      Dr. Marcus (as always) provided a high-level of professional medical advice which made a difference to me in that it was the basis on which I changed my thinking and resulted in a direction in change of care on my part. The conversation was much appreciated.

      I asked the doctor whether it would be safe to stop taking a blood thinner (Eliquis). He discussed the pros and cons and offered to consult with his colleagues as it was a judgment call. He got back to me (through My Chart) that same day with a recommendation. Amazing!
