Daniel R. Marcus, M.D., is a General Surgeon recognized as a leader in the field of minimally invasive surgery with an uncompromising dedication to excellence. He has a special interest in both laparoscopic and robotic surgery with particular interest in hernia repair of all types, gallbladder surgery, and problems of the gastrointestinal tract including colon, anti-reflux surgery and pancreas. He is well trained in oncologic surgery including breast and soft tissue. His passion for minimally invasive surgery and the use of the most cutting edge technology has led him to be one of the first surgeon’s in Southern California to perform Single Site Surgery.
