Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

AWFUL
I saw Dr. Marcus for most of my pregnancy in 2019. There were a few times he made me uncomfortable. The final straw was when I went for a group B strep test at 36 weeks, and he did a cervical.exam without my consent. I was so distraught that I changed OBs at 36 weeks in a high risk pregnancy.

He should be in prison
This doctor told us our baby wasn’t living and tried to get my wife to take pills to pass the pregnancy. Luckily she didn’t and when she went to the ER the baby was fine. The doctor miscalculated how long she was pregnant and was doing the wrong type of sonagram. We have the most healthy little boy in the world that was almost aborted by this man.

I had a C-section which supposedly went well but he never showed up during my 3 days stay at hospital. After 12 H. I was at home in such a severe abdominal pain that I could not move my legs then called the ambulance.Later at hospital a surgeon, an infectious disease doctor, another obstetrician, 2 neurologists came to protect him while I was in insane amount of pain laying in bed handicapped. They determined I had a Hematoma (clot). What I went through was a nightmare and very painful.

Do not trust this doctor and staff. Kind can only take you so far. Very disconnected and often do not even know which patient you are or what your history with them is. It is very dangerous when health complications arise. If you are looking for a thorough doctor whose health and safety you can trust in their hands, go elsewhere.

I have only wonderful things to say about Dr. Marcus and my care throughout my entire pregnancy. He is an amazingly caring and compassionate doctor. He delivered my baby girl with the utmost professionalism. If I have another child I will happily return to him for our care. Same goes if I have to recommend any obstetrician to a loved one.

I was seen right away which is always a plus. I would recommend Dr Marcus to my family and friends. He is compassionate, thorough and easy to talk to about whatever concerns you have with your health. The office staff is very pleasant and answers any questions you have.
