I write this as a lower income bracket person (I live paycheck to paycheck). But this is why I will spend extra money to go to Dr. Marcus' office. Everyone who works there is extremely professional and friendly in all areas. Although they do not take insurance and are a bit expensive, I find it all worth it for their intense concern about the patient's comfort and health. I initially went in for TMJ problems and found that they not only could help from a conventinal dental point of view, but had progressive knowledge of integrating massage and pressure point techniques which was suprisingly effective. I go to them for regular checkups in addition to my TMJ, veneer and implant maintenence because I find the cost worth my ease of mind. I have always feared dentists. This is not the case here. I trust them completely and am so glad I found them. They are a little slice of dental heaven.
