Dr. Marcus has designed the Heart Center's Congestive Heart Failure Center with a multi-disciplinary approach at its core, and that comprehensive structure benefits many of our patients. He is also currently Director of the CHF Disease Management Program at Vassar Brothers Medical Center.
He earned high honors as an undergraduate at Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania, then came to New York to earn his M.D. from New York Medical College in Valhalla where he also completed his residency.

Dr. Marcus completed two subsequent fellowships, at the Yale University-New Haven Hospital, in Connecticut—the first in cardiovascular medicine; the second in nuclear cardiology.
