Having cancer for over 15 years and my husband being diagnosed last year (as well as moving from one state to another) I have had my share of doctors. Dr. Makarian is the example upcoming med students should strive to become. When she felt I needed to be seen by a doctor for another reason, she got me in the next day. It's great to hear staff and medical personnel around OMC reiterate I've got the best. She referred my husband to a specialist in Columbia. The doctor commented on how thorough the information was that she sent before we were there for our appointment. What more can I say other than she's #1 in our book?
