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.

    DR was professional, actively listened. And on time!

  • May 10, 2025

    He was very thorough asking about the reason for my visit. Took personal responsibility to get me the help I needed to get medication through the pharmacy without concern of “pre authorization” when it is obviously needed. He made sure every item of my concern was addressed. I did not feel rushed or like a number. He showed care, compassion and kindness to me as a person.

    I like how fast and easy it was for the doctor to understand my situation. I wouldn't change anything about the service provided.

  • May 7, 2025

    Took time to explain and instruct. Knew my chart well with meds. Diagnoses and labwork. Dr was quite personable and listened.

    Very knowigable

  • May 3, 2025

    He listened carefully — asked questions for detail — took thorough notes — finalized the call by repeating his documentation for accuracy — asked me if I had any questions or further input and responded — concluded the call.
