I know he's working on my knee for better results
Dr. Markel is easy to talk to. He is a straight shooter.
Rude and condescending. Dr. Markel should keep in mind that people coming to see him are often times struggling to drive and function with the injuries they present. Struggling with joint pain impacts every function and can be depressing. He could not care any less. He showed up in a whirlwind, spat out a grim prognosis ("probably not operable"), gave a cursory prednisone shot and away he went.
Very personable today. Sat and listened to my concerns and we discussed together what should be done.
He was very honest with me. I was afraid I would need surgery and having been through 2 surgeries last year had me worried. Thank you
Dr. Markel is extremely professional, a good listener and always treats me with respect. He’s knowledgeable about my knee issues.
Dr. Markel is the one of the best in his profession excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. I have been his patient for years. Two tears ago I was receiving knee injections every 3months. March 2023 I had a follow-up visit with Dr. Markel. I had x-rays and I wanted more knee injections. Dr. Markel entered the room at the Core Institute greeted me shaking my hand. Dr. Markel looked up at my x-rays and walked towards the door to exit he turned and said my scheduling nurse will be in contact with you and walked out. Long story short I had total knee replacement. This was the best decision I ever made with Dr. Markel. My knee is strong , I walk without pain and I had to learn to trust my new knee. This would not be possible without Dr. David Markel my Orthopedic Surgeon and fantastic Physical Therapist who followed my doctors orders. The Core Institute is the best in the business.
Great dr!
