Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 FYI Dr. Marcus is located in Silver Spring, MD (a DC suburb). He is an older doctor who graduated from Med school in 1954. I believe he practices at Holy Cross Hospital. The only DS surgery that he does is the older version that was done years ago(BPD DS). He only operates open. He is well thought of and a board certified respected professional. He has a strong support group and has performed many operations. However, I repeat, he does not do the same surgery that is discussed on this group. I investigated him as well as all the other Bariatric surgeons in this area at the time and I went to NY.
