    How was your appointment with Dr. Marcus?

    May 24, 2023
    Dr. Marcus and his staff are excellent! I was fortunate enough to be able to make a last minute appointment in the Brentwood office today for a concern with my vision. From check in to check the staff was friendly, welcoming and truly professional. I arrived early and was taken right away. I highly recommend Dr. Marcus and all his staff at all offices. I believe that they saved the vision in my right eye. Thank you to all!
