Dr Markey is the best. My first visit with him made me so comfortable. So dissapointed he retired but so happy for him. Now he needs to enjoy his life and I am sure his compassion he gave to others will come back to a hundred fold.

Dr Markey gives his direct pager number to his patients. He efficiently schedules procedures and promptly responds with results. He provides written information, since there is only so much you can take in and remember. I highly respect and recommend this Dr. for his professionalism, knowledge and experience.

I recently had a colonoscopy. I was so impressed with Dr Markey and his staff. They made what might have been a stressful experience, relaxing and reassuring. Before I left the hospital, 30 minutes after the procedure, I was given an full report of the results. I would definitely recommend him to others.
