Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Curious and caring!
After suffering for almost 2 years with excruciating pain. Dr. Markar quickly got to the bottom of what was going on with me. He listened carefully and clearly wanted to do everything he could to help. He asked so many questions and did not hesitate to refer me to a neurologist when treatments were not helping. That neurologist, along with my neurosurgeon, and Dr. Markar saved my life! My orthopedic surgeon thought I had sciatica but it turned out I had a giant tumor on my spinal cord. Dr Markar was empathetic, curious about my condition, and incredibly professional. His office staff is responsive and amazing. if you are someone with chronic pain looking for help Dr. Markar is your doctor. he saved my life and my legs. If it wasn’t for him, I would be paralyzed for life. I am forever grateful. If you have pain and are looking for someone who really cares about helping you find relief he is your doctor!

Excellent: empthathic, knowledgeable, caring.
Efficient visit, took time to listen, had no agenda other than wanting to help. Has all the traits of what you want in a doctor, making it all about you and not himself.
