This doctor listens and answers all questions. Highly recommend. He knows a lot and never incorrectly misdiagnosed any medical issue or concern. There is never any long wait in the waiting area which is great. This doctor deserves more than 5 stars but that’s the highest score allowable.

We’ve been going to Dr. Markel for almost 8 years and with 3 kids, that’s a lot of visits! I recommend him to everyone I know - he has taking such good care of us and has answered SO many questions for me. Everyone in the office is kind, caring and welcoming. Office is impeccably clean and I’ve never waited more than 10 min to be seen. Love this practice!
