I have been receiving psychiatric care for approximately 14 years. Dr. Marcus is one of the most rude and callous professionals I have ever seen. He hardly cares about how you are feeling but he is very much concerned about money. He spends approx. 5 minutes with you. If you try to engage him, he seems annoyed, as if you are wasting his time. I once saw him at his Boston ""office"" where there is no support staff, just the dr in a large room in a brownstone in BackBay. He did not have receipts or any change, but had no problem taking my $20 for my copay. He pretty much demanded the money, saying he could make change at my next appointment, instead of simply sending me a bill from his office. I felt like he did not even give me the option of asking to do that. It felt weird that a dr. would just take your money, throw it in their briefcase and not offer you a receipt. He also questioned my diagnosis in a very sarcastic way--even though it seems perfect to me and comes from a well known expert in this field. However, he did not suggest a new dignosis or new medication or ask me any other questions. There are so many health care professionals in MA do not waste your time with this man.
