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.

    He was very thorough and was the first doctor I’ve seen who actually did something to address my symptoms

  • July 24, 2025

    Really easy to connect and Dr. Howard was great. He quickly sent out a referral for exams and marked it "URGENT" so that I'd be seen as soon as possible.
