Millbrook Internal Medicine was founded in 2003 by Dr. Eric Marler.
Dr. Marler completed a B.A. in Communication Studies at S.U.N.Y, Plattsburgh, N.Y. He completed further undergraduate studies in Microbiology at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. His medical school training was at New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine at University of Massachusetts, Worcester, MA.
Dr. Marler moved to Columbia, SC, in 1999 to complete a 2 year National Health Service Corps (Public Health) commitment at Waverly Family Practice on Gervais Street (Eau Claire Cooperative). In 2001 he worked as an Assistant Professor for the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of South Carolina Specialty Clinics, across from Richland Memorial Hospital. Dr. Marler's responsibilities at USC included teaching medical residents outpatient and inpatient care, as well as seeing private patients in the faculty practice. In 2003 Dr. Marler was comissioned by the State of South Carolina to update South Carolina's Dept. of Transportation (DOT) medical exam form used by thousands of commercial drivers in the State. He was a frequent guest physician on WIS-TV in 2001 on the Sunrise Show hosted by Judy Gadson. Dr. Marler previously worked as Medical Director of Longs Pharmacy.
In 1987 Dr. Marler was inspired to become a physician after working for a year with Mother Teresa's Sisters of Charity India in Calcutta, India, and Kathmandu, Nepal. On several occasions Mother Teresa met with the volunteers. The Sisters of Charity deeply inspired Dr. Marler with their example of Christian love, charity, service and humility.
Dr. Marler is married and has three girls. His family and Christian faith are the foundation of his life. He and his family attend First Baptist Church in Columbia, SC, pastored by the very reverend Dr. Wendell Estep.
