Patient Review by Jaime B
I brought my elderly father in for an emergency consult because I couldn’t get him in anywhere else. Dr. Marcus examined him and determined that he needed a root canal and referred us to an endodonist. He didn’t charge us because of his kindness and concern for our situation. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Patient Review by julian s
Dr. Marcus has done lots of major work on me over the decades: bone grafts, implants, and lots of maintenance. I had seen another periodontist who told me I would be lucky to have of my original teeth after ten years. That was forty years ago. My regular dentist tells me that the implants that are done by Dr. Marcus are as straight and well-positioned as possible. He is considerate about patient pain and discomfort. Also a heck of a nice guy. If you need a periodontist, this is the best.

Patient Review by JoAnn T
Dr. Marcus was great! I had a long history of dental horror stories and was quite apprehensive on my first visit. I felt no pain during and even after a very extensive procedure which I attribute to his knowledge and expertise. The entire experience was unbelievable and I highly recommend Dr. Marcus to anyone needing periodontal surgery.
