I drove over 50 miles just to see Dr. Markham. He has been my Dr. For almost 30 years. Moved away a couple years ago but still come back to see him because I haven't found anyone better!

Dr. Markham is a genuine credit to the medical profession. He is kind, caring, and truly listens to you. ALWAYS greets with a huge smile and a firm handshake. HE is the reason I continue to travel for my medical care.

Dr Markham treats you like an “adult”. He just doesn’t tell you what to do, he has a “discussion” with you and asks your opinion, and offers the best course of treatment. He treats you like you are the most important person there. He goes above and beyond the appointment. Very cordial, easy to talk to. I never feel “rushed” with the appointment. He always greets you with a handshake and a smile. He’s the BEST!!
