Betty Rasmussen, Medical Office Coordinator
Betty has been with Dr. Marcus since 1996. She is one of the primary reasons the front office runs so smoothly. Although she has responsibilities too numerous to list, she is perhaps best known to patients for her smiling face and calm, welcoming demeanor that sets the tone for the whole office.

Hilde Farnum, Scheduling Coordinator
Hilde joined Dr. Marcus's staff in 1986, and her jobs and responsiblities have changed dramatically as Dr. Marcus's cosmetic surgery practice has grown through the years. After patients meet with Dr. Marcus and determine they would like to pursue cosmetic surgery, Hilde coordinates surgery scheduling. Hilde stays in close contact with the patients providing pre-operative as well as post-operative instructions.
