Dr. Marcus patiently listened to all if my concerns and addressed them with non-jargon clarity, putting me at ease. The office staff I dealt with were courteous and efficient. Excellent experience.

I've had serious retina illnesses for 20+ years. It's extremely crucial that my eyes be monitored and treated frequently. After all, I'm in the visual arts field professionally. All the specialists I've had were wonderful but because of moving, insurance and the pandemic, etc, I've not been able to get the proper care recently. Fast forward- Today was my first visit with Dr.Marcus. I had my eyes examined and scanned by the techs upon arrival, and the Dr went over the results and my previous specialists' notes, and he immediately proceeded with a focal laser treatment. A little uncomfortable, yes, but medical technologies have advanced so much over the years that treatment time is brief and you're up again in no time. The office is fast-paced, streamlined, yet pleasantly quiet too. I couldn't believe that all the tests, procedures and everything got done in less than an hour. A++

Good experience
Verified patient
The office was busy and in dire need of repair. Just a mess there. Very busy, with many patients. Time spent with doctor felt rushed.
Dr. Marcus probably was too busy that he gave me 10 minutes time with him which didn't help me to ask questions or receive any feedback from him regarding my eye condition. I hope, I receive his progress note to learn what's going on with my ophthalmic clinical condition.
Efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable
Verified patient

Verified patient
I thought he was AMAZING and tall..lol I only had to wait a little longer because I was the last patient and the dr had already left the office and came back just to take care of me.. That was great.. But for anyone having their eyes dilated PLEASE bring your sunglasses because they do not tell you to and I felt like a vampire because the sun was SOOOOOOOOOOOO bright when I left and couldn't really see anything clearly.. Thank goodness I wasn't driving!!
