Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Marcus is so helpful!
Very happy to have found Dr. Marcus!

Always excellent
Dr. Marcus has been treating my older child's ADHD for 8 years. She really listens to him and is interested in helping him thrive. That means a lot to a 10th grader, let me tell you!

Highly Recommend
High emotional intelligence and manner with the children. I recently took two of my three in for a sick visit. She addressed both of them, 13yoF and 7yoM, as individuals. She allowed them to share and helped them both understand their symptoms in an age appropriate manner. She also addressed all of my concerns and allowed me to be a part of the treatment decisions.Dr Marcus was pleasant and efficient. I’m a very satisfied mom and I am happy she’s on the team! Cheers

Best pediatrician I’ve ever met.
We simply love Dr. Marcus. My daughter had a serious issue pop up yesterday and Dr. Marcus saw us earlier than our scheduled appointment. She also called us several times afterwards while we were at CHOA. I was very appreciative.

Such a great experience
Dr Marcus is amazing- honest, patient, caring, and knowledgeable. As a first time mother, I have a lot of questions and she really listens to my concerns, and provides honest advice. She is thorough and often provides personal anecdotes which make me feel more comfortable. I fully trust her with my daughter’s healthcare and wellbeing.

CMG and Dr. Marcus are the best!
I recently took my 3 small kids for sick check and flu shots. Dr. Marcus always navigates each of their needs calmly and thoroughly, ensuring to share what they need to them and what I need to know as their mom to me. We absolutely adore her and feel so thankful for CMG!

Empathetic and reasssuring
As a new mom, understanding what my baby needs can be overwhelming. Dr. Marcus took the time to understand our baby’s needs and also explained everything in a way that was understandable and feasible as new parents. She has great bedside manner and is also very practical in her approach. She made us feel comfortable and safe asking all sorts of questions and left us feeling more confident in caring for our child.

Considerate, beyond competent, kind
Kindly engaging my curious 6-year-old by answering her questions about medical equipment while the 18-month-old was being seen. A reassuring physician who is efficient, covers all the bases for an appointment while being personable and treated me and my children with thoughtful consideration. I'm so grateful she's our children's Pediatrician.
