My career goal is to make a personal difference to each and every one of my patients. I want them to feel respected and listened to, and in so doing, I hope to gain their trust. I take pride in utilizing the tools I have been trained to use to get to the heart of my patients’ complaints.
I am board certified in general cardiology and well trained in the use of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, nuclear imaging and stress testing. My areas of interest include preventive cardiology, hypertension and coronary artery disease amongst many others. I eagerly speak with patients about food as health and spend much of my time advising on healthy diets and lifestyle.
I enjoy my family time immensely and dedicate my free time to raising two beautiful daughters with my best friend and wife Teresa. We enjoy family vacations, family biking trips and relish in time at the beach. My recreational activities include running and biking as well as golf and tennis. My wife and I enjoy cooking, especially together.

“I went to visit Dr. Marais after 2 previous abnormal EKG. He has ordered an Echo cardiogram to be taken In a few days. During the visit, Dr. Marais had helped me to understand the pleural effusion in my lung space by showing me a photo of my X-ray taken recently. He further explained that that's the reason why I am having breathing difficulty. I was not aware of the volume of the fluid nor Its potential Medical Issue. I am Impressed that Dr. Marais took the time and effort to helped my to understand my health condition even though it was not a cardio related questions. My summation here: Dr. Marais Is a super physician! I would highly recommend him to everyone.”
