doctor was very straight forward, matter of fact & said I needed surgery! He didn't explain what the surgery entailed, how long it would take, or what I might need to know. Even when I started to cry HE JUST SAT THERE & kept talking! I'm sure he's a good surgeon, but I really didn't like the way everything was presented (OR WASN'T) to me.
Dr. Markel explained everything in
Awesome Surgeon and knows everything a good friend
Knew exactly what my issue was. Suggested physical therapy and a return visit. Very pleasant and sociable.
Dr Markel is straight forward and to the point. He takes the time to answer questions. He also explains all of the options and possible outcomes.
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
