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.

  • March 6, 2026

    The doctor was very caring, empathetic, and helpful. He followed through with the urgent matter that we spoke about. It was a huge relief after dealing with other people and doctors who did not seem to care very much. He made me feel like I mattered and I'm very grateful for that.
