About Howard R. Marcus, MD

  • Dr. Marcus see patients on an as-needed basis at ARC clinics.

    Dr. Marcus and his wife have six grandchildren who are a major focus of their lives. He enjoys taking his sailboat out on Lake Travis, taking an occasional trip to an interesting destination, and listening to classical music.

An inspiration in my decision to become a doctor came from our family's general practitioner when I was growing up, who demonstrated those traits of caring and skill that all physicians should emulate. I chose to become a primary care general internist because I value the long term relationships we have with our patients and their families as well as the everyday challenge of diagnosis and treatment of a vast variety of medical conditions.

    This was my first time visiting this this doctor. I was very impressed, he studied my chart beforehand and was very thorough. I am so happy with his service and knowledge.

    Dr Marcus' bedside manner was excellent. He was courteous and helpful. He asked the right questions to get the correct diagnosis. I'd recommend him to friends.

    He really listened to me, and went above and beyond to consider my symptoms and help me find the right path forward.

    Dr Marcus precisely diagnosed my symptoms in the most cheerful, compassionate manner. Wish he could be my PCP!

    For a Telehealth visit, Dr. Marcus was extremely organized which helped me get to the important points for this visit which for me was a follow-up to an Emergency Room visit several days earlier.
