Dr. Markowitz is the best! He has very good qualities that most doctors in NY lack, as: he does hear everything you have to say and pay attention to it, he takes his time with you, he calls you promptly or sends you a letter with your test results and his opinion of the issue. I have been to many doctors in NY from different specialties and Dr. Markowitz is my favorite doctor. I highly recommend him.

If you want the best, Dr. Markowitz is it. I have GERD and needed an upper endoscopy. After putting it off for too long, I finally decided that I should do it. I spent almost a day researching GI docs in the New York area. I made two appointments… one with Dr. Markowtiz and one with some other doc. Both doctors I met with have mega-credentials and are in the«Best Doctors in America» book. However, the first guy I saw was way too fast and seemed to have no empathy for me at all. He was part of a faculty practice at Mt. Sinai and had some lady doing her fellowship meet with me for the majority of the visit. I did not wait several months for an appointment to meet with some random woman doing her fellowship. Then I went to see Dr. Markowtiz. It took me like 3 or 4 months to get an appointment with him… but I was fine with waiting… as this was not pressing. Dr. Markowitz is a very personable down to earth doctor who takes his time and listens to what you have to say. He saw me personally, not some assistant or resident… it was only him. I could tell right away that this guy is an absolute pro. He did the procedure, which was nothing and I’m fine. I highly recommend Dr. Markowitz. From what I gather, he is one of the best GI docs in the country. And on top of that, he is a nice guy.
